<p>Also taking ACT in September (again, I have a study plan for the summer worked out)</p>

<p>Significant Extracurriculars:

<p>I'm not asking for chances for Hunter, I'm asking for chances for the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter. The averages are like 1350/1600 SAT and 94/100 GPA hence my apprehension.</p>

<p>I just got my acceptance letter to Macaulay Honors Program yesterday! My major is business. Even though I’ve already been accepted to 6 other schools, including public ivies, I think Macaulay is a great option! </p>

<p>I believe that you are well-prepared for the honors program. Macaulay is a very exclusive institute (as if you don’t already know) and more than 3,200 students applied for approximately 360 slots last year (that’s about only 10% acceptance rate!). </p>

<p>You need to have more leadership roles for your extracurriculars. I am the treasurer of my school store and a club, plus received nominations for leadership positions like peer leaders and nhs, and the art editor for my school’s literary magazine. I also have VERY strong activities and community service records. </p>

<p>In addition to honors and awards, SAT matters substantially. The avg SAT score for Macaulay Honors Program is 1400/1600; though my score wasn’t as high, it goes to show that the admission office also looks at other objectives.</p>

<p>Make sure you are in the top 20% tile of your grade and maintain a 90 GPA or higher to be considered!</p>
