Point Total and Scoring Information
Previously known as Cut Scores
Point total information for the 2027–28 selection process is not yet available. CPS will publish this information after initial high school results are released in February 2027.
Minimum point totals vary from year to year because they depend on factors such as the applicant pool, student scores, and the number of available seats in each program.
Once CPS releases the 2027–28 point total information, the updated resources will be added here.
