WHAT DO I PUT IN THESE DARN COLLEGE APPLICATION ENVELOPES?

You must bring envelopes addressed to each of the colleges to which you are applying. You must put 2 stamps inside each envelope (no sticking!) and your name on the inside flap of the envelope. Do not put your return address on the envelope. We will put the school's address there. You must fill out and attach an application checklist for each envelope. These are available in the college office.

Here is what you should put in the envelopes you bring to the college office:

CUNY /UAPC 

General Freshman Admission                                                                           Macaulay Honors College

P. O. BOX 350136                                               OR                                          P. O. Box 359021

Brooklyn, NY 11235-0001                                                                                Brooklyn, NY 11235-0001

I.             Transcript –the CUNY application will ask you to enter your OSIS (students ID #) in Section 2.  This grants them access to your transcript so we do not need to mail them your transcript.

II.             SAT/ACT scores and the Document Return Receipt- CUNY accepts a paper copy of your SAT/ACT scores           only if you attach the Document Return Receipt that you will be prompted to print once you complete your application.  If you choose to send them electronically from the College Board or ACT websites, you should send them to the UAPC, code 2950.

III.         Payment and Application Fee Return Receipt- There are no CUNY fee waivers.  You must pay the $65 with a check, credit card, or money order.  If you pay with a check or money order, you must include the Application Fee Return Receipt that you will be prompted to print after you submit your application online.  If you pay with a credit card online, you do not need to mail your payment.

IV.          Teacher/Counselor Recommendations:  If you are asked for an e-mail address, use     hstatcollegeoffice@gmail.com.   

V.            Personal Statement and the Document Return Receipt. CUNY (especially Baruch) strongly encourages you to submit a personal essay. If you sent your SAT scores electronically, you must include the Document Return Receipt with your essay. If you already put it in the envelope with your SAT scores, you’re all set. 

VI.          Address- Do not put your own return address on the envelope.  We’ll use the school’s return address.  But, you must write your name in the inside flap of the envelope.

SUNY

This  is a two step process.

I.                     SUNY ASC

                    one envelope goes to:

SUNY APPLICATION SERVICE CENTER

P. O. Box 22007

Albany, NY 12201-2007

                In the SUNY ASC envelope you should include:

A.      Online Application School Counselor Form.  This can be downloaded from the SUNY website at http://www.suny.edu/student/downloads/Pdf/2012_school_counselor_form.pdf

B.      Fee payment

1.       If you are eligible, you can download the fee waiver from the SUNY website at http://www.suny.edu/student/downloads/Pdf/2012_fee_waiver.pdf   and put it in the envelope. 

2.       If you are paying by check or money order, you can include this in the envelope.

3.       If you are paying online with a credit card, you have nothing else to worry about.

C.      Address- Do not put your own return address on the envelope.  We’ll use the school’s return address.  But, you must write your name in the inside flap of the envelope.

II.                   SUPPLEMENTAL SUNY APPLICATIONS

A. An envelope goes to each individual campus to which you are applying.  The list of the schools that require supplements is available online at http://www.suny.edu/student/apply_supp_apps.cfm.

B. Even if you complete the supplement online, you should still bring us an envelope addressed to each campus so we can send out your transcript and teacher recommendations.

C. Include SAT/ACT scores in each envelope.  Remember that SUNY Binghamton, Stony Brook, and University of Buffalo will require that you send the scores electronically.

D. Address- Do not put your own return address on the envelope.  We’ll use the school’s return address.  But, you must write your name in the inside flap of the envelope.

COMMON APP

You need to bring envelopes to the college office for each school you are applying to through the Common App.

I.                     Include SAT/ACT scores in each envelope unless you sent them electronically. (University of Wisconsin, for example, requires electronic scores. Check each school’s rules.)
