Hi everyone! I'm trying to get all my applications organized, and I'm particularly interested in Hunter College. Does anyone know when their application deadline is? I'm trying to plan out my schedule so I can make sure I meet all the dates, but I can't seem to find consistent information online. Also, if anyone has gone through the admissions process there, how was it? Any insight on timelines or tips would be great. Thanks for the help!
Hunter College, which is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, has a rolling admissions policy. While they accept applications all year round, there are specific priority deadlines.
For the Fall semester, it's February 1, and for the Spring semester, it's September 15. Meeting these priority deadlines ensures your application will be reviewed first and you'll receive an admissions decision earlier.
Regarding the admissions process, keep in mind that you will apply through the CUNY application, which allows you to apply to multiple CUNY schools with one application fee. You should have your transcripts and any test scores you plan to submit ready as part of your application.
Take time to draft a concise personal statement, highlighting your academic and personal strengths as well as your reasons for being interested in Hunter College. Given the college's urban campus in New York City, emphasizing your enthusiasm for studying in such a vibrant, diverse environment could make your application stand out.
Also, if you want to apply for financial aid, ensure you fill out the FAFSA form as early as possible to increase your chances of receiving the maximum aid for which you're eligible.
Good luck with your application!
