Do they send results by letter or email? Will all the colleges respond at the same time?
My friends have gotten their results already (some passed some failed)
but I haven’t gotten mine yet, what does this mean? (checked both email and mail)
My college plan is to go to City Tech (closer to home) for the credits I need for college (someone please explain to me what courses are required in college before starting the chosen major.)
Then maybe transferring to City College for a engineering program or perhaps some other college (if I transfer, what do the other colleges look at? Only my GPA?
When I go to college, will my GPA reset or does it continue from my high school GPA?
@sybbie719 can answer all CUNY related questions. We’re in the SUNY system, which may or may not be the same. My son’s decisions came via the US Postal Service. The letters included instructions for logging on to the accepted students’ portal.
Your high school GPA isn’t used to calculate your college GPA. They’re entirely separate.
The SUNYs have general education requirements that all students have to take. I imagine the CUNYs do too. Try a Google search for “CUNY Gen Ed requirements.”
Transfers don’t get much financial aid. Students with tippy top stats can get merit aid, but only if they apply as freshmen. If City Tech and City College are both affordable, doing 2 years at Tech then transferring may be a good option. If Tech doesn’t have the major you want, you might be better off starting at a college that does.
You can check your application status by checking your CUNY portal. It will tell you if a decision has been made, but not where you have been accepted.
CUNY is rolling admissions. When did you apply? They are just starting to send out decisions. Some will send an email and then follow up with a letter. Other will send a letter
Baruch and Hunter have a more holistic process where it Is recommended that you do the essay and recommendation letter
Are you college ready be your SAT or regents scores? Remember there’s no remediation in the 4 year schools.
While you want to go to City Tech, it will depend on when you applied and to what program you applied to (remember there are a limited number of seats in each program)
There will be gen-ed requirements that you can transfer from one CUNY school to another CUNY or SUNY school.
breathe, a decision will come soon. The worse case scenario, when you get your decisions, you can always call to see if you can get a seat at a CUNY CC.
"Are you college ready be your SAT or regents scores? "
My SAT score for both the English and Math section just barely passes those requirements. All my regents are higher than the scores given. So I believe I am college ready.
If I want to transfer from City Tech, to lets say, Columbia University, what is the best way to go about this?
What courses specificly should I take at City Tech that are transferrable to Columbia and how long would this take?
If I do not make it into Columbia, and decide to try to transfer to City College what courses should I take and how many years will it take me?
I see on Google that a bachelor’s degree on Computer Science (I’m aiming for that) will take me 4 years. Does this mean just 4 years of college will get me the degree or is there some other course I need to take before being able to start courses for a bachelor’s degree on Computer Science?
I am really a beginner on this stuff, if you know anything please explain to me!
Is there a set amount of courses all college students need to take before taking their chosen career chourse?
Will taking more courses in one semester reduce the amount of tuition overall or do I pay for each class?
Is it free to take electives such as music, foreign language, sports?
I heard when transferring, it is good to participate in school and get to know profs. What are some examples of what I can do?
