I'm planning on applying to some CUNY schools and need to understand the timeline for when regular decision notifications are sent out. Does anyone know the usual timing?
The City University of New York (CUNY) has a rolling admissions policy. For regular decision applications, this means that they consider applications as they come in and continue to make decisions throughout the admissions cycle until they have filled all available spots in the incoming class.
Still, many students receive their decisions about six to eight weeks after submitting their application. For example, if you apply in late January, you could expect to hear back from CUNY schools around late March or early April.
Please note, however, that the timeline can vary a bit from year to year and among different CUNY schools, in part due to the volume of applications each receives. For the most accurate information, it's a good idea to check directly with the CUNY campuses you're interested in.
