Ruth Asawa SF School of the Arts Admissions
Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts Applications
Ruth Asawa San Francisco School ofthe Arts (SOTA) applicants must turn in both the SOTA application and a general SFUSD application, and schedule an audition to take place in January or March by contacting the school at 415-695-5700. SOTA applicants must turn in a SOTA application to SOTA by Dec. 3, 2011 to participate in the audition process and the first placement round. Students who are requesting other schools must turn in the general SFUSD application by January 27, 2012. SOTA should be listed on the general application in the correct order of preference. All applications for SOTA are reviewed and students who have qualified for SOTA through the audition process are identified prior to the general assignment run for the first placement run. Qualifying students who list SOTA as the first choice school will receive an assignment offer to SOTA. Those who qualify but list another school as a higher choice than SOTA will go into the assignment run. If they receive a placement into a higher choice school, they will not receive an offer to SOTA but to the higher choice school instead. Therefore, it is important to list choices of schools by preference. Students who do not qualify for SOTA will not be negatively impacted (it will be as if the school was not listed as a choice school) and will be included in the assignment process for all the other choices listed on their applications.
Entrance criteria for SOTA are solely based on audition outcomes. There is no waiting pool or appeal process for SOTA.
