<p>attached is the CUNY profile:</p>

<p>FOr Macauley, you can only apply to the honors program at one school. The Macaulay Honors College has a two-step notification process:</p>

<p>1.Students will be notified of their admission decision as General Freshmen (see above.) </p>

<p>2.Students will be notified of their admission decision into the Macaulay Honors College on March 15, 2010. </p>

<p>At worse case, if you have the stats you will be accepted RD CUNY. </p>

<p>

Students accepted into Macaulay Honors College for the class of 2012 had an average GPA of 93.3 and SATs of 1396. High school grades and SAT scores are only one aspect of the application process, however; students’ co-curricular activities and community service, teacher recommendations, and personal essays are all important components of the Macaulay application.</p>

<p>Considering Macauley gets more applicants than spots, it is open to students living both in and outside of NY and there is a subjective component (essays, recommendations), I would not necessarily consider it a safetyas there will be students whose grades, scores fall in the range that will not be picked up.</p>
