CUNY often presents the most affordable college option for families and includes a wide range of quality academic programs. ALL NYC DOE PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS CAN APPLY TO CUNY FOR FREE DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER REGARDLESS OF THEIR FAMILY INCOME! See the attached letter for details.
Students applying to Macaulay Honors College can submit their CUNY application by 10/31 and then log back in to the application to upload the Macaulay essays by Nov. 16. This allows students to take advantage of the fee waiver benefit without having to rush their Macaulay essays. Rec letters for Macaulay are not due until Nov. 28.
Remember that studnets can apply to up to six CUNY campuses through the one application.
