[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are coming from public schools for example, can you apply to just 2 of these schools as well? [/quote]
No, there is no such restriction.  If you're not in a parish school (and hence not taking the Archdiocese's High School Placement Test in school), I imagine you'd simply take the test at each school you apply to, as if it were the school's own unique test.  Your child may end up taking the same test more than once if you apply to multiple schools that use the HSPT.  I do not believe the schools share information among each other about who has applied (at least not officially), so there's no way for them to even know how many Catholic schools you apply to.

If you are in parish school and want to apply to a high school that you didn't designate as one of your two, it may be worth contacting that school's admissions office to see if they'll let your child take the test separately, as if he were an applicant from a non-parish school.  Not sure if this might constitute a breach of ADW's "rules" or not, but could be worth asking.  It's possible ADW could refuse to send transcripts or some such, but again, worth a shot.[/quote]

The schools that fall under the ADW rules won't permit this.  If you don't get into either of your 2 you first selected and there are spaces at the others, you could be considered for one of those spaces.  This is NOT the case with the list a PP made, schools that are independent of the ADW rules and test, that can be applied to in addition to the 2.  St. Anselm's is an example of such a school -- administers its own test and can be applied to in addition to the 2.  [/quote]
