Sha'alavim for women (it's in Jerusalem, not in Sha'alavim).

For those who say it's too late to apply, be aware that I know people who've gotten into seminary well past the deadlines. It's always worth it to apply and find out the possibilities. Not all seminaries fill up, and not all get the applicants/types that they want....some girls get into multiple seminaries, so there can be rounds of acceptances.

While all of this is true, the OP should not be misled into believing that its not going to be more difficult.

If OP's daughter's school has an Israel guidance counselor, she should be in touch with that person, and try to get information on which seminaries didn't fill up this year. She should also be prepared to explain why she's applying late.

Good luck to your DD.

True, but the ones who get in later are the ones who applied at the same time as everyone else but were put on a waiting list.

I'm not saying it CAN'T happen but may be very difficult.

YU has a guide you might find helpful

https://www.yu.edu/israel-prog.....seret

But I know that several of these schools already have waiting lists if your daughter is looking for next year. Again, she needs to quickly compile a list of schools she might be interested in and, if there is no guidance counselor at her school, contact them ASAP about possible openings. Given the fact that acceptances already went out, and girls who didn't get into their top choices are already doing this (and their counselors are pulling in every favor they have) she really doesn't have a lot of time to wait.

I'm not saying it's easy, and always better to apply with everyone else, but no...I know people who didn't apply initially, who applied after the deadline, and were asked by the seminary not to tell anyone...so yes, it is possible.

For example, I know someone who didn't get into the seminaries she applied to, and was able to apply to another choice, after the deadline, and got in there....

No experience with the seminaries mentioned here, but just with seminaries in general.
