Admissions Criteria
Welcome to The Urban Assembly School for Emergency Management's page for our Future UASEM Family Members!
Admission Method: Ed-Opt Program
These programs are designed to serve students at a range of academic levels. We rank applicants based on our rubric using specific criteria. Offers are made based on randomly assigned numbers, and some offers are made based on ranking numbers for programs that rank applicants. BTECH selects 50% of applicants using the school’s admissions rubric, the Department of Education selects the remaining 50% of applicants using their Middle School English test scores for Priority Groups and Admissions.
Students from all five boroughs of New York City are eligible to apply to BTECH, however, the majority of our students reside in the borough of Queens.
We accept freshman and sophomore applicants through the Admissions process. In the 2021-2022 Academic Year we had over 1000 freshman applicants.
