I received emails on setting up my cuny email account and immunization requirements earlier this morning! Really relieved to feel like I’m moving forward with next steps, but @Yve_ makes a good point that it’s also good to take it easy while we still can! ?

Thanks, mine is probably still just being processed! I just love being able to check things off my to do list though haha....

Thanks for this detail! Hmm I don’t have a previous cunyfirst account so I’m hoping they’ll provide instructions on how to set that up soon.

Oh, I didn’t receive that yet! When did you get that email? I also submitted my deposit on 3/26, in case that helps.

Thanks for sharing!! Has anyone received info on setting up email or anything like that?

Hopefully one of the next steps is attending an orientation of some kind. It’d be great to meet everyone in person!

FYI I got an official email notification earlier today saying Hunter received my deposit (I mailed it 3/23, but Juliana informally said she received my deposit on 3/26). Hopefully we’ll hear back on next steps by sometime tomorrow!

Hey! I haven’t received any info yet or seen the check cleared from my account. But I emailed Juliana Lopez last week to confirm she received my letter and she said she did and we should all be receiving more info by end of this week. Hope that helps!

I was in the same predicament and decided the debt just wasn’t worth it to me, when I know I’ll be making great connections and having an equally good experience at my local state school. Keep in mind that I definitely think this is true if you’re interested in a clinical track. If you’d like to get into macro work post-grad, having a big name might help, and may be worth the cost. It’s too soon to tell but I know that not having to worry about finances and loans makes me a MUCH happier person. And I just keep this in mind—if you were qualified enough to get into those top programs, you will be fine wherever you decide to go. It’s your motivation, drive, and commitment that will help you succeed in any and all programs!

Thanks for providing more info on the process! I’m not a CUNY student so any info on how Hunter works is helpful. It seems like we’ll be in the same cohort then—looking forward to meeting you and others in this forum in person!!

This was super helpful—thanks so much!! I’ll plan to call them if I don’t see the money being withdrawn from my account by end of the week.

For those of you who’ve submitted your enrollment deposit—did you receive a confirmation email of some kind? And if so, does it provide more info on any next steps we need to take? I mailed in my form and check on Saturday and wanted to know if I should plan to call them if I don’t hear anything. Thanks!! (P.S. good luck to those who are still in the interview stages!)

I was wondering where you ended up with this. Are you deferring due to the out of state costs? If so, that probably does make sense especially if you’re not in a rush to start the program.

I am also definitely nervous about moving to another state, especially by myself (and my cat). Where are you coming from and what other schools are you considering? I’m from NYC and it’s between Hunter and Pitt. Michigan would’ve been amazing but it’s too damn expensive! I didn’t really visit the school honestly. I was more in town to check out the city, and I did enjoy my time there, in terms of things to do and places to eat. I’m Asian so I was also seeing things from a minority perspective. The city isn’t as diverse as I’d like, but nowhere will really be like NYC! I had a brief meeting with Philip Mack and the meeting was ok. I didn’t really learn much. I would’ve wanted to sit in on a class or speak with a student, but I didn’t have time. I was planning to attend the Welcome weekend in 2 weeks but I couldn’t take time off from work ?. I didn’t realize their rankings dropped! I’d also like to know why... I’m interested in integrated healthcare and I think Pittsburgg in general is a good place for healthcare. Hope your visit goes well—I’d love to hear what you think afterwards!

I’m sorry to hear about Hunter. But a HUGE congratulations on Kean University!! School is what you make of it, and you’re going to do great there! Good luck on that big move!

Just wanted to revive this thread—anyone else accepted into Pitts and considering going? Or anyone who’s put down their deposit? I had a chance to visit Pittsburgh recently and now it’s back on the table (decision making is incredibly stresssful and hard!!) and it’d be great to hear from others who are considering accepting Pitts and why.

I’m actually on the traditional 2 year track, and was accepted without an interview (others in this forum also were accepted without interviews. I read somewhere that Hunter may be considering changing up their admissions process). I’m from NYC and will likely continue to live at home in Queens. But if you’re from out of state and would like housing suggestions, happy to help however I can. I know it’s always stressful trying to figure out housing!

For those who have been accepted to Hunter for Fall 2019 and are planning on going--I'd love to connect, especially if any of you are from the city too! And if you know of any social media groups for admitted students, please do share--it'd be great to get to know others in my class (disclaimer: I haven't officially submitted my deposit, but unless I get a new fin aid package from the school I'm considering, I'll be going to Hunter!!) And for those who are still waiting to hear back or have interviews scheduled--good luck!!

Aw, sorry to hear. The applicant pool must’ve been very competitive! I know you said you’re definitely going either way—have you already submitted your deposit? And are you local to the area or will you be moving? And if you know of any admitted students social media group, please do share! I’ve been trying to find but couldn’t find any.

I would love to hear your experience!! I did a bit of a read through of your old posts and it seems you come from a similar background—I’m also from Queens, also considering Hunter, but I actually want to get out of the city which is why Albany is appealing, but I don’t know anything about the area or the job opportunities there. I’ll try to send you a PM so we can connect!

Interviews are always so nerve wracking! At least you’ll be able to find out soon—good luck!!

Hey all, I know some people have heard back from SUNY Albany, so I wanted to create a thread for us to discuss. I received news of my acceptance (I applied in early January for the 2 year full time track) yesterday and found out I received a graduate assistant position today. I’m not sure if I’ll be attending, but would like to hear from others who have decided to go or are considering it as well. Thanks!

For those who are waiting on the integrated health scholarship decision: I received an email about an hour ago letting me know I was rejected. Hopefully others have better news!

In my acceptance letter, I have the deadline of 3/31.

FYI, I reached out about scholarships and was informed they’re generally awarded during the first semester of classes. Professors typically will nominate students or you will need to fill out an application (these don’t become available until start of the semester, with September deadline). Decisions are usually made by December. Scholarships range from $1,200 to full tuition. Hope this helps!
