<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Thank you for your interest in Macaulay Honors College.</p>

<p>For all Admissions related questions please contact the Enrollment Management Team directly at <a href=“mailto:info@mhc.cuny.edu”>info@mhc.cuny.edu</a>, or call 212 729 2929. All other sources of information are random opinion, and are on most occasions not accurate.</p>

<p>Macaulay Honors College at The City University of New York offers exceptional students a uniquely personalized education with access to the vast resources of the nation’s largest urban university and New York City itself. Selected for their top high school records and leadership potential, Macaulay students receive a full-tuition scholarship (if a NY State resident), a laptop and technology support, and a $7,500 Opportunities Fund to pursue global learning and service opportunities. A Cultural Passport provides access to museums, libraries, and other treasures around New York City. Macaulay offers a unique array of learning opportunities that position our students, and our graduates, for continued success.</p>

<p>Macaulay students enroll at one of eight CUNY senior colleges (Baruch, Brooklyn, City, Hunter, John Jay, Lehman, Queens and Staten Island).</p>

<p>Academically eligible applicants to Macaulay Honors generally have a cumulative high school average of 90% (3.5 GPA) or higher. These students also have cumulative SAT scores of 1250 and higher (combining the Math and Critical Reading sections ONLY) or ACT scores of 28 and higher (combining the Math and the English sections ONLY). </p>

<p>However, although high academic achievement is a requirement, a student who has excellent grades or scores will not be admitted to Macaulay Honors College solely on those grounds. All prospective students are reviewed for admission based on a holistic view of eligibility to the program. A student’s recommendations and essays which highlight co-curricular activities, community involvement, and leadership skills are key components of the application review process.</p>

<p>Macaulay Honors College is a very selective program. The mean SAT score for an accepted student this year was 1410 (cumulative of the Math and Reading sections) or an ACT score of 32. The mean High School average was 94%.</p>

<p>When you apply to Macaulay Honors College there is only ONE application needed.</p>

<p>You are given the option of selecting up to SIX campuses of interest on your application. Be sure to rank them in the order of your preference.</p>

<p>You will receive your decision notification in two steps:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>You will be notified of your admission decision as a general freshman to CUNY by all college choices listed on your Macaulay application in late February.</p></li>
<li><p>You will be then notified of your admission decision for Macaulay Honors College postmarked March 15th.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>You will receive only ONE Macaulay decision. 97% of the students accepted to Macaulay Honors for the Class of 2017 received this decision from their 1st choice campus.</p>

<p>I wish you the best of luck at this exciting time of college exploration!</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>The Admissions Team
