COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS
CUNY APPLICATION

THE DUE DATE FOR ALL CUNY APPLICATIONS TO BE SUBMITTED IS NOVEMBER 18.PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT THE SUBMISSION PROCESS ALSO MEANS THAT A COPY OF YOUR TRANSCRIPT, SAT SCORES AND PAYMENT MUST BE MADE BY THIS DEADLINE DATE. I will give each senior a copy of their transcript, which includes your ranking in the senior class by. The only way that you will be able to receive your transcript with rank is if you have submitted your CUNY application and have printed out a copy of the application, which will be your receipt that you will have to show me to obtain the transcript. If you do not submit your CUNY on-line application with the appropriate documents by November 18, you run the risk of NOT hearing from any CUNY school until next summer. This past graduating class experienced several CUNY schools cutting off the submission of applications in the late spring. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make sure that you have submitted all required documents--transcript and SAT scores. When filling out the CUNY application, be sure that you include your OSIS number. By doing so, CUNY will automatically pull your transcript and you will NOT have to send them a copy. Because of the huge number of CUNY applications that were submitted this past year, if you do not submit your materials in a timely manner, you will not get the kind of response you hoped for.
The fee waivers for eligible students for CUNY are EXTREMELY LIMITED, and when they are gone there will be no more. If you have a part time job, it is important that you save your money to help pay for your college applications. Please DO NOT COME TO ASK ME about these waivers, I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN FEE WAIVERS ARE AVAILABLE and how they will be distributed. The first thing that you should do is to fill out an on-line CUNY application (SAVE IT, DO NOT SEND IT) before seeking for a fee waiver.

You should utilize these spaces by filling in the four to six top schools where you want your scores to go for FREE. If you do not do this, you will then be charge $10, by the College Board, for each college/university that you want them to send your scores to. When SUNY receives your on-line application, they in turn send me, your college advisor, a post card letting me know that they need to receive a transcript and scores.
