CUNY Acceptances for Fall of 2016

Does anyone know when or how financial aid awards are sent out?

Which one did you apply to?

just made dean scholars at baruch

How were you notified @j417872 ?

personal email

Congrats @j417872 I got into macaulay baruch but was just wondering if the Dean’s Scholar was totally unrelated.

thanks congrats to u also. i guess its better for me to get dean scholars because i probly wouldnt be able to keep up the macaulay gpa lol

I’m a little bit worried about that too!! lol did you pick a major?

i put liberal arts on the application. Not sure what im gonna major in yet. I wonder if someone in macaulay got a slightly lower gpa like 3.4 if they’d just put them into dean scholars.

anyone know if the 1300 from deans scholars can only be used for travel abroad? Or can you just keep it.

I believe its for specific expenses that need to be approved

You think it could be used for like textbooks and stuff?

It didn’t seem like it on the description but they may have discretion to allow it. Doesn’t hurt to ask

Anyone wants to answer my question about financial aid? Lol

I still haven’t heard from Hunter City or Brooklyn? Should I be concerned?

I don’t know about the financial aid. I assumed they don’t give much since its so inexpensive

That’s where you’re wrong. There are still Federal and State grants given to you if qualified and some Merit based financial aid

I know they have merit but never hear of many people getting much more than loans.

Yesterday was 8 weeks since I applied and still nothing, the application is “under review”. Waiting is the most annoying helpless feeling ever :((

Did anyone try calling the admission hotline? I get hung up after pressing
