Online applications open through Choose Dallas ISD on Nov. 1, 2026, and the final deadline is Jan. 31, 2027. During that period, campuses review applications marked in process. Students deemed eligible receive their audition date and time by email. The school notes that dates on its timeline may change; it also lists March 1 as the date district notification letters are emailed to the address on the application.
