3. You MUST request that The College Board or an ACT center send SAT and/or ACT scores directly to CUNY. This can be done at the College Board website and the ACT website. It is not necessary to send the scores to each CUNY campus if you enter the college code 2950 the score will be sent to the University Application Processing Center and will then be accessible to ALL CUNY CAMPUSES.
4. CUNY (other than the Honors College and Teacher Academy) works on a rolling admissions basis (meaning there is no deadline and applications will be reviewed for admission once all required materials are received by the processing center). The earlier you send this application, the better.
