The Department of Education’s notoriously complex middle and high school admissions process just got a little easier.

Currently, parents dissatisfied with their initial school offer have to reapply.

The new rules cut out the paperwork of a second application and allow students to automatically be put on a waiting list for their second favorite schools.

In addition to scrapping the extra step, the DOE will now provide real time waiting lists numbers so parents can gauge their chances of admission to a particular school.

“We are changing the middle and high school application processes so families don’t have to go through the gauntlet just to get a placement,” Mayor de Blasio said at a Thursday press conference. “There will be one application round and one deadline to make everyone’s lives easier.”
