<p>Does anyone know exactly how hard it is to get into CUNY Honors. For example getting into CUNY Honors is equivalent to getting into ....</p>
<p>I attend S.I. Tech have a 3.8 gpa around 1950 sat and over the summer will be working at Citigrop as an intern, I've been on 3 major sports teams and 2 clubs, I have also done quite a bit of community service. Ap courses include Bio and Physics </p>
<p>Do you think I have a shot at CUNY Honors?</p>
<p>HOw does your score break out in terms of math/verbal</p>
<p>I think your SAT scores are a little low. Keep in mind that CUNY honors is a very competitive and numbers driven process (we are talking free tuition/ laptops and a host of other perks so there is not shortage of applicants). A student with a similar GAP and higher scores will knock you out of the box</p>
<p>Another Staten Islander! How cool.</p>
<p>Your stats are excellent, but I don't think they're in the ballpark for CUNY Honors. You could have a shot if you are an URM, though. What other schools are you looking at?</p>
<p>URM status does not matter as much as being a first gen or low income the first part of the process is computerized where they are cut off numbers</p>
<p>I'm also looking at University of Miami or Rutgers, do I stand a better chance with these schools? What SAT Score is more accptable for CUNY Honors?</p>
<p>My math section was a 710 and verbal 620</p>
<p>i had an 1890,
680 math, 620 verbal..</p>
<p>3.79 gpa, unweighted..</p>
<p>4 on ap calc, 2 on ap english..</p>
<p>I'm Indian, not a URM..</p>
<p>i visited CUNY honors twice before I applied..</p>
<p>i applied to 8 schools:
uconn, cuny honors, BC, NYU, cornell, columbia, brown, and tufts..</p>
<p>i was rejected by the last 4, and accepted to the first four..</p>
<p>uconn gave me their honors program, and day of pride scholarship (all i have to pay for is books)</p>
<p>cuny honors gave me an extra $5000 to help cover my living expenses..</p>
<p>i ended up choosing CUNY, its really an awesome program...id suggest go visiting..its still a very new program, and so there isn't too much information on the web..</p>
<p>btw, i didn't do any sports, but then again, im from a first gen. college student, and low income family..</p>
<p>i think you have a shot..</p>
<p>Does first gen college student really help alot becuase I am also a first gen college student</p>
<p>it might help, it certainly won't hurt, not in the least bit..</p>
<p>i don't remember if cuny even asked about my financial situation, i can't remember..</p>
<p>i visited twice, and the director at city college knew my name..when i called a few months later to ask her something, she still knew who i was..i guess being out of state and showing a good deal of interest helped..</p>
<p>doing that couldn't hurt..</p>
<p>Can u go to Cuny honors after youve been one year at the Cuny normal program?</p>
