The Macaulay thread

<p>So, it is almost March 15th. Did anyone else get a chess set from baruch college? I don't know why I would get one.</p>

<p>According to the CUNY Portal, I have been admitted to City College (which I applied to). Macaulay decisions are still pending. I haven't received anything in the mail about it yet.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if we can check our decisions online for Macaulay on the 15th?</p>

<p>spacecamper, I have also been admitted to city college. According to the Macaulay website, they will be mailing out letters on the 15th, so expect to hear from them on the 16th/17th. </p>

<p>Good luck to us all.</p>

<p>how come cc never posts on macaulay....</p>

<p>I received the chess set from baruch too. It was so shiny and silver-ish. It even looked like an electronic dictionary or a ds at first. But it was chess set...still good.</p>

<p>Thats a jip, hunter didnt send me anything. Ah well at keast I'll be able to get a dorm room should I get in. Good luck guys. Any other macaulay hunter applicants?</p>

<p>A chess set? LOL. </p>

<p>Baruch must be short on applicants this year-I think they're struggling to fill their undergraduate class.</p>

<p>"how come cc never posts on macaulay.... "</p>

<p>It's not important.</p>

<p>Hmm, do any of you have the admissions statistics for the Macaulay Honors Program?</p>

<p>Specifically, 25th/75th SAT Ranges, selectivity, percent of students who rank at the top of their class, etc.</p>

<p>nah i don't think baruch would be struggling to fill in</p>

<p>The average sat score was 1390 and the average gpa was a 93.7 or something. Pretty tough compared to most schools Imo.</p>

<p>YES. I got in!!! Hunter Macaulay</p>

<p>how thick was the envelope? What was inside the envelope?</p>

<p>Congrats amoney3!! I got my letter today as well (Hunter). The envelope is kinda thick, with a Macaulay folder inside, full of info about the program (also invite to reception at the Met in April.) The envelope says "Congratulations!" on the bottom. Good luck to everyone!!</p>

<p>Thanks, miktau.</p>

<p>Took me a while, but I found the information on my own eventually.
Admitted students had an average score of 1396 and an average GPA of 93.X.
Not sure about the means of enrolled students, but I have a good idea of the rigor of their admissions process.</p>

<p>Congratulations to everyone.</p>

<p>yea i got hunter today. not much suspense... congrats written all over it. well it was a safety... mit rejection same day. arghghh</p>

<p>@ stressedout
there was to be suspense. all the letters, whether rejections or acceptances, come with "congratulations" on the front. So, there was no guarantee.</p>

<p>ohh. well thats kinda mean. xp</p>

<p>Those average stats are probably a bit far from this year's. Due to the economic crisis, I know a lot of students (many who are ivy-level students) have opted to apply to macaulay as their safety/financial safety. My friend did ED to Baruch Macaulay Honors and he didn't get in. His gpa is like a 91 out of 100 at very competitive hs and his EC's include internship at prestigious financial firm. Only ended up being accepted to regular baruch.</p>

<p>**** no letter yet. I hope this means Im not rejected. Are you guys in the city? Im up here in westchester so I hope the mail is just slow. Did acceptances arrive via usps? </p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>
