DID YOU RECEIVE YOUR ACCEPTANCE LETTER?
Colleges will SOON begin to notify students of admission decisions. CUNY will begin notifying students as early as February 15. Admission decisions will be sent on a rolling basis by each college to which the student has applied and when you applied. Please be sure to BRING in your acceptance letters to the College
Office as soon as you get them. We want to know!
Your acceptance letter will most likely contain some very important information about decisions and deadlines you need to pay close attention to. Wait Listed? If you've been put on the waiting list at your first-choice school, it can't hurt to let the admissions officer know you're still very interested. Send a letter restating your request to attend and include any recent achievements or high grades. Because waiting lists are not guarantees of acceptance, you should consider accepting admission to your second-choice school. You'll want to be sure you're enrolled somewhere for the fall semester so send your deposit by the deadline to be safe. But understand that your money may not be refunded if you are later accepted at your first-choice school and decide to enroll there.
