I don’t understand? I have 3.89 GPA, and I even took classes at Lehman to meet the requirements, and Baruch and all other 3 colleges rejected me?
They said they were going to send acceptances mid-March, but I just received this message today? But I called up the automated system and I went on my Cuny portal, and it says it’s still under review.
Could this be a huge mistake?
All my other friends got the same emails also.
Please let me know if anyone else got this.
I got the same email today! I called the hotline and checked the portal and it says still under review. I received my email at 4:32 pm. I dont know what to do!
Thank you so much for replying, I’m glad I’m not the only one. My friend received it as well - I was so devastated, I balled my eyes out - but I calmed down a decided to e-mail them. I know this has to be a huge misunderstanding. I’m going to call CUNY tomorrow. You should do the same - if you don’t, I’ll get back to you on what they told me.
Anyword? I have tried calling but the line says its busy and try back again later?
Yes! I e-mailed like 5 people and one got back to me. His name is David Keller from Baruch College, and he told me it was because I messed up on my application on my part, but they fixed it. Basically, I took a STATs course (Math) at Lehman College, but I thought I didn’t have to put it down because I was non-matriculated, so I just sent them my Lehman College transcript instead. I only put down the current college I was attending, not Lehman. So they rejected me because they didn’t check the Lehman Transcript to check the math I completed.
He changed everything in the CUNY system, and they will be putting me in the second batch of acceptances.
As for my friend who got the same message, she never took a math, but we asked if she can get accepted based on her Regents scores, and they said yes, they can determine entry based on that. Sadly, she didn’t do so well, so they still rejected her.
So please check you met all the requirements - it’s a C and above in Math & English to be considered a transfer.
I got my issue resolved. I hope you do too.
Ops - I mean It’s a C and above in Math & English in COLLEGE, but for regents, I think it’s a B and above. If not regents, they need to base it off of SAT scores.
You have to formally ask the school to check your SAT scores or Regents scores if you did not take a Math or English or etc.
