<p>I’m a current Macaulay student and can comment on non-Macaulay students in my classes:
They are a mixed bag. There are brilliant students that are at CUNY and not in Macaulay. There are not so brilliant students at CUNY and not in Macaulay. Especially as you get into the upper level courses for your major, you’ll see that the students are extremely focused and work as hard as Macaulay students. On my home campus last year, we had a non-Macaulay student accepted to Columbia University’s Teachers College for grad school and a Macaulay student accepted to Columbia University’s Dental program. If you work hard enough, the opportunities are there to be successful.</p>
