SENIORS: if you are applying for the Macaulay Honors College program at any CUNY institution (Hunter, Baruch, Queens, etc.) then you cannot use the Common Application to apply to CUNY.
Macaulay Honors College is not a Common App institution. Although students may see the CUNY campus of their choice in Common App, they cannot use it to apply to Macaulay.
CUNY has recently begun a transition to Common App but not all of its campuses are there yet.
There is no "checkbox" or way to indicate an interest in Macaulay using the Common App. The only way to apply to Macaulay is by using the CUNY Freshman Macaulay Honors Application. Click here for the Application Page
Note that students begin by selecting "Freshman Applicant" then use the dropdown to select "Macaulay Honors Application." This is a screen grab for reference.
