<p>The lack of info and responses must mean there is very little or no hope. Sorry, Burrrns, I know we will do well in our other choices.</p>
<p>I may be able to provide some insight, I’m a Macaulay student at Hunter Class of '13. Last year Hunter over enrolled us Macaulay students by almost 15 (we started off with 139). This is quite a bit considering each class has generally been only 125 or so students. In light of this I think this year they were being considerably more conservative in admissions. If memory serves I heard they only accepted about 226 students this year out of the 1600+ that had applied. This is just me talking but even if they manage to keep up the same yield as last year I believe there should be a tiny bit of wait-list movement. This is no guarantee that anything is going to happen, I like the college can’t completely predict yield and this is just my own personal opinion. I’m not even supposed to know the admissions statistics for this year. For all I know we could end up over enrolled again. Hopes this gives you guys a better idea of the situation though.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it. Good luck with your studies!</p>
<p>For those that got into Mac @ Baruch & requested housing info over the phone, have you received any info in the mail yet?</p>
<p>Thank you so much, miktau (:</p>
<p>It’s alright, I’ve pretty much moved on…</p>
<p>hovering - I’m afraid that wasn’t me 
I didn’t attend the reception. I may attend the April 1st one though. Anyway much thanks for the info :)</p>
<p>Anyway, for any current members, anyone mind telling me how much you get in a check from them or how does it work? (Grants getting refunded or something because Macaulay paid for the tuition)</p>
<p>@significa</p>
<p>Anything not used by the Bursars office is sent to you via a check for the amount. And if you’re lucky, some scholarships do not get rescinded, so you can get those too! :)</p>
<p>I see, if you don’t mind me asking, how much do you get O_O</p>
<p>Anyone going to the Baruch thing today btw? (For Baruch Scholars/Macaulay Honors)</p>
<p>Personally, my net amount in scholarships is around ~$2, 250 each semester. No much, but definitely helpful. I have friends who net $4, 000 a semester, so mileage may vary.</p>
<p>I was admitted to the city college’s honors program but waitlisted for macaulay.
I am still quite interested in going to city college because of the grant that they gave me. But I am still holding on to the teeeeny bit of hope of coming off of the waiting list and being admitted in MHC</p>
<p>so I have a few questions:
- are my chances of coming off of the waiting list lower because I live out of state (NJ)
- if i paid the deposit for city college before hearing from Macaulay, would i be forfeiting the spot on the waiting list.
- will I eventually hear from Macaulay (accepted or not) or should i just assume if i don’t hear from them that I should pick a different school. </p>
<p>and also, i’m pretty sure that not everyone who wasn’t admitted was automatically placed on the waiting list. I have a friend who applied for the same major at City College in MHC and was not placed on the waiting list.</p>
<p>@wilwrk4education</p>
<p>1 - No, factors such as location will not affect your chance.
2 - No, this will not forfeit your waiting list spot.
3 - Macaulay should inform you, as they inform both accepted and rejected applicants.</p>
<p>To your last point, you are correct. Many students are not accepted at all. And for those who may meet the standards, but room does not permit; they end up on the waiting list.</p>
<p>Can anyone clear up the scoop with respect to housing? Where is it available? Where is it free? :)</p>

<p>miktau or anyone,
Have you heard anything about waitlist chances? Still hoping…</p>
<p>Bump…Any news on the Macaulay wait lists? Anyone out there? Any news at all?</p>
<p>I turned down my macaulay spot @ baruch so hopefully one of you are getting it.</p>
<p>Significa, Thanks for the good thoughts. Good Luck @ Boston and thanks for responding!</p>
<p>I was in the Macaulay-Hunter office on Friday and was told </p>
<p>a) No waitlist action has been taken as of yet
b) They cannot guarantee that it will happen this week and,
c) They know it isn’t fair to anyone</p>
<p>Appreciate the update. Thank you!</p>
<p>email mail yesterday, Good Luck to all who made it</p>
