Chances at Macaulay Honors College

<p>Hey Guys,
I'm a Junior going into Senior Year and was wondering if you could chance me for Macaulay.
I have a 3.5-3.7 GPA (depending on my grades for the first quarter of next year)( at a3.5 unweighted currently)
I was part of the Environmental Club, European Club, and was part of a Shelter program where we helped kids do HW.
I took all honors in Fresh year, 2 in Soph, 1 in Junior, and taking 2 AP's next year.
I got a 30 on the ACT and will try to take it again to get to a 31-32.
I'm also a Peer Group Leader ( basically a peer counselor to younger students) and I can write a great essay and get great recommendations. (And my school has a good relationship with Macaulay, they got 25 students in last year.)
Thank you in advance :)
I'm planning to apply (not sure of the order yet) - Citi, Hunter, Brooklyn, Queens, and then either John Jay(which will be it's first year in the Macaulay Program) or Baruch.</p>

<p>Bump :stuck_out_tongue: I’m just curious</p>

<p>Congratulations on your achievements so far.</p>

<p>Academically eligible applicants to Macaulay Honors generally have a cumulative high school average of 90% or higher. These students also have SAT scores (cumulative of the Math and Reading sections only) that range from 1250 to 1600 or ACT scores that range from 28 - 36. </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 very 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 an application.</p>

<p>The mean SAT score for an accepted student last year was 1414 (cumulative of the Math and Reading sections) and the mean High School average was 93.9%. [The mean ACT equivalent would be a 32, and the GPA equivalent would be a 3.85]. </p>

<p>Please do remember that the mean is an average of the total number of accepted applicants who fell within the eligibility requirements mentioned above. It is NOT a requirement. </p>

<p>ALL our applications receive a comprehensive review which includes grades, test scores, essays and letters of recommendations. This year, we realized a 36% increase in the number of applications and accepted 19% of the students who applied. </p>

<p>I hope this information was helpful.</p>
