<p>Hello so right now I'm going crazy. The deadline is by Dec 2 and I haven't taken my second SAT. I am going to take the exam in November and December. The only problem is, if i don't do well on my November exam I was planning on taking it on December but the deadline is by Dec 2. I heard if you apply to Macaulay you will get a letter saying whether you got in or not. If you don't you will be dropped and reviewed for the honor class(which i want to get in) and denied by honor it will be the regular Baruch. So I was wondering do I have to fill out another essay topic for reg Baruch in case? With my SAT right now I cant get in anywhere so I'm pretty worried right now. By November I think I can hit a high grade but i dont know if I can even get into regular atm. So can someone help me out please? thank you</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Thank you for your interest in Macaulay Honors College.</p>
<p>For all Admissions related questions please contact the Enrollment Management Team directly at <a href=“mailto:info@mhc.cuny.edu”>info@mhc.cuny.edu</a>, or call 212 729 2929. Sign up to get Macaulay admissions updates here: <a href=“http://www.macaulay.cuny.edu/info[/url]”>www.macaulay.cuny.edu/info</a></p>
<p>Macaulay Honors College at The City University of New York offers exceptional students a uniquely personalized education with access to the vast resources of the nation’s largest urban university and New York City itself. Selected for their top high school records and leadership potential, Macaulay students receive a full-tuition scholarship (if a NY State resident), a laptop and technology support, and a $7,500 Opportunities Fund to pursue global learning and service opportunities. A Cultural Passport provides access to museums, libraries, and other treasures around New York City. Macaulay offers a unique array of learning opportunities that position our students, and our graduates, for continued success.</p>
<p>Macaulay students enroll at one of eight CUNY senior colleges (Baruch, Brooklyn, City, Hunter, John Jay, Lehman, Queens and Staten Island). </p>
<p>Academically eligible applicants to Macaulay Honors generally have a cumulative high school average of 90% (3.5 GPA) or higher. These students also have cumulative SAT scores of 1250 and higher (combining the Math and Critical Reading sections ONLY) or ACT scores of 28 and higher (combining the Math and the English sections ONLY). </p>
<p>However, although high academic achievement is a requirement, a student who has excellent grades or scores will not be admitted to Macaulay Honors College solely on those grounds. All prospective students are reviewed for admission based on a holistic view of eligibility to the program. A student’s recommendations and essays which highlight co-curricular activities, community involvement, and leadership skills are key components of the application review process.</p>
<p>When you apply to Macaulay Honors College there is only ONE application needed.</p>
<p>You are given the option of selecting up to SIX campuses of interest on your application. Be sure to rank them in the order of your preference.</p>
<p>You will receive your decision notification in two steps:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You will be notified of your admission decision as a general freshman to CUNY by all college choices listed on your Macaulay application in late February.</p></li>
<li><p>You will be then notified of your admission decision for Macaulay Honors College postmarked March 15th.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>You will receive only ONE Macaulay decision. 95% of the students accepted to Macaulay Honors for the Class of 2017 received this decision from their 1st choice campus.</p>
<p>If not accepted to Macaulay Honors College you are automatically considered for the local honors program and other scholarship offerings at the campus listed FIRST on your application. There is NO guarantee of admission. Their processes are quite similar in selectivity to those of the Honors College. </p>
<p>Our application is currently available here: [The</a> City University of New York’s Online Application: Getting Started](<a href=“http://macaulay.cuny.edu/apply]The”>Applying to Macaulay | Macaulay Honors College). Our application deadline is December 2nd at 6pm EST.</p>
<p>If you would like to learn more about Macaulay Honors you should attend our Fall Open House @ The CUNY Graduate Center on October 28th.</p>

<p>Just to be sure, after applying to Macaulay you get accepted into the regular CUNY first? And then you see if you got into the Macaulay? So you don’t need two applications for both the CUNY and the Macaulay?</p>
