• In partnership with the DOE, The Next Stop College (NSC) project launched the College Match Tool. It will enable all NYC high school students the ability to create a strong match college list using their GPA. After selecting their GPA range students will receive access to lists of colleges they are likely to be accepted at, that match their academic eligibility and the schools that would be their reach schools.

 

• Students can also explore all of the 2,960 colleges in the tool and see their graduation rates broken down by race and ethnicity as well as anticipated cost by family income levels.

CUNY and SUNY suspend testing requirements for Fall 2022 - Spring 2023 Application Cycle

CUNY has extended the testing policy to include the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 admission cycles.

• In light of the COVID-19 crisis, we are suspending the use of SAT and ACT tests through the Spring 2023 admission cycle. Applicants to any of our colleges will not be required to submit SAT or ACT test scores to be reviewed for admission; nor shall any submitted scores be considered in evaluating their applications.

SUNY has temporarily suspended SAT/ACT testing requirements for students applying for admission to a SUNY bachelor’s degree-granting college for the spring 2022, fall 2022 and spring 2023 terms.

• You may now decide whether or not to include your scores for admission consideration at each college to which you apply. If you believe your scores are an accurate representation of your ability, SUNY colleges can consider them along with all other materials in your application file. If you think your scores do not represent your abilities, SUNY colleges can holistically evaluate your application without considering them.
