<p>Hello.
I am a junior in high school who is interested in Baruch. I was wondering specific criteria and benefits to their honors programs. I know that Macaulay offers free tuition, room & board, etc., and is throughout CUNY but what differs from Baruch’s own three? How many students are accepted to each? I take rigorous weighted courses (AP, honors) and I am part of a special academy in my school for the academically gifted (125/1000 students from my graduating class.) I have yet to take the SAT, but I have a 3.83 GPA with lots of extra curriculars and by the time I graduate, 200+ hours of community service. Attending the open house I would like to have some background information.
Thanks.</p>
<p>Macaulay at Baruch doesn’t cover room and board (which makes makes me kind of wish I’d applied to CCNY or Hunter, which do cover dorming). I think the main difference between Dean Scholars and Macaulay is that Macaulay offers other things (like study abroad grants and a MacBook) in addition to free tuition.</p>
