CUNY Acceptances for Fall of 2016

Hello. I got accepted, but in the packet I received says I’m required to take a CUNY assessment test. o.o
I am worried now. What is this test, when do I take it? What if I do bad on it? I did horrible on SAT english section so yea… very scary…

@lgreg07l Everyone has to take the tests no matter what, it’s to see what classes you take in terms of english or math. You have to schedule the test as well

@Mdelga11 Do you take the test at the school that you chose or any CUNY school

Called CUNY today and she said I should hear back from the schools by the end of this week, so I’m excited. I hope she’s right

Got an email saying I’m accepted into Queens College. Finally!!

@midnightluna same here! Now just waiting for Baruch to send me their decision

So after many calls, emails and Twitter DMs, I finally received a decent update. The CUNY admissions said that they have received everything necessary for my applications and that they are doing evaluations before sending them to the colleges. But the weird thing is this Twitter DM they sent me “You will likely hear in the second week of May. Please remember that you only receive one decision, from the first school for which you are eligible.” I don’t mind the May thing a lot. But why do I only get one decision? I see that you guys get decisions from several colleges.

@basile94 I was told that too and I don’t understand why either…

@sanchshe Hi, I’m an international student and I haven’t received anything yet. My portal just says that the status below reflects my application and a list of the colleges I have applied to, which is only city college. Where did you receive your acceptance by email or in the portal? Thanks.

I’ve only heard from Queens so far, but what do you do after you get the acceptance letter? It says “In the coming weeks, we will be sending you more information that will help you with your decision” So do I just wait? There’s no links or anything to click on to respond

@ilovegreys123 I got my acceptance for both city college and queens college through email. It seems like we won’t be getting a letter through mail. AND I had to find the I-20 form online after digging around the city college page. (That’s my choice). I have a question how are internstional students going to take the math 3 exam if we can’t go to the university?

@sanchshe I think you’ll take the exam once you’re there. I still didn’t receive any decision and city college is my first choice. When’s the deadline for committing?

I’m not sure if this will apply to anyone else, or if it’s a glitch on my end, but my Hunter acceptance letter did not show up in my gmail inbox. I got suspicious when I was looking at the accepted students group on FB and another guy said he only got the invite to the group and not the acceptance from the school too. It took me using the search in gmail for “acceptance” or “accepted” for it to show up, and then to get it in my inbox I had to star it. Just in case this is happening to anyone else here, you might want to try searching your inbox for those terms or checking your spam (although mine was not in spam either).

I just called Hunter and she said that I was a part of a batch of who students whose acceptance had just been received and I should hear back tomorrow, I’m excited!!

@ilovegreys123 I’m very confused about the test since you have to register, I already got my social number and everything but I have no idea how to find out. I looked through all the webpages. And there really isn’t a deadline, you get 15 days to commit which is to make a deposit and also say you’re enrolling after you get accepted. The only problem is that your deposit form may not be ready right away.

@sanchshe try looking at the CUNY website under after you are accepted. Or if you want give them a call to find out more

So I checked back at my portal and saw the list of colleges. What does it mean when one of them disappears from the list? Is it a rejection? And my application has changed from “freshman admission application” to “transfer admission application”. I’m quite confused by this. I have a diploma in materials science from a polytechnic in singapore. Do they count credits from it?

I got into Hunter this morning, but still waiting for Baruch which is my top choice. Called Baruch and they put down my info and said they’ll call me back as soon as they can, but that I should put my deposit down for a different school just in case. I really don’t want to put the deposit for another school since I want to wait for Baruch but I guess I’ll have to if they don’t answer soon.

I received my acceptance letter from Hunter College on April 29th, it says I have to enroll and send in my deposit by May 2nd. Will my deposit be able to make it to the college in time for the deadline? I live in Queens, NY so I’m in the boroughs, but it is also the weekend so I’m not sure if mail is being sent during the weekend.

Also, why was I not given more time considering I got the letter 2 days before the commitment date? They should’ve given extra time or something.

Deadline is may 2, print the commitment deposit from your my choice page along with your payment. The person who asked your question got this reply in the hunter invitation school app. I advise you sign up on it as students and hunter staff will help you. Look for Kay Brennan has a post that is like your concerns in the hunter post feed.
