<p>Which college did you guys apply to?</p>
<p>SO nervous. Hunter here.</p>
<p>I applied to City, though I didn’t hear anything from them >.>
Then again, City itself is pretty easy to get into; also, on my CUNY portal, it said something like “Macaulay is now reviewing [my] application” which means that it must have passed City.</p>
<p>So if decisions are postmarked the 15th, we will probably be getting them AFTER the 15th, right? -_-</p>
<p>Well, considering the application was done online, I figure we’d have access to the decision through CUNY Portal.</p>
<p>On a slightly different note, did anyone who applied to City get this blue letter saying that you have to take a Math 3 test? It’s apparently called a CAT (Cuny Assessment Test) and it’s supposed to place you in a Math class. I just don’t know if it’s absolutely required that I take it because my SAT scores are sufficiently higher than the minimum they require.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard from Macaulay yet? Are they mailing the letters today?</p>
<p>Any word yet?</p>
<p>I hope us applicants will find out whether we’re accepted by today.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they’ll be posting our decisions online? It doesn’t look like it now, but you never know i guess?</p>
<p>YESS!! Accepted to macaulay hunter :D! </p>
<p>For those who are wondering how i learned of my acceptance, i received an email at 5:11 EST.</p>
<p>I’ll post stats if people are interested.</p>

<p>What school did you apply to?</p>
<p>Macaulay Honors College at Hunter: Waitlist</p>
<p>-_____-</p>
<p>Is there any point really?</p>
<p>It seems they put a lot of people on the waitlist. I guess it just depends on the acceptance.</p>
<p>We’re waiting on Macaulay Lehman, anybody else?</p>
<p>Waitlisted as well for Hunter. It looks like in order to accept a spot on the waitlist, you have to actually enroll at Hunter. I probably wasn’t going to accept a spot anyway, but given this I’m definitely not going to</p>
