Admission to Macaulay Honors College depends on a student’s College Academic Average (CAA), SAT/ACT scores, writing sample, letters of recommendation and interview. Entering freshmen who are admitted to Macaulay generally have SAT scores (Verbal and Quantitative) greater than 1200 and CAAs greater than 90. The admissions process considers the unique qualities each student brings so that exceptional students who do not meet these criteria may be considered for the program.
As University Scholars, Macaulay students must achieve an overall GPA of 3.3 by the end of freshman year and maintain a 3.5 GPA by the end of sophomore year and thereafter. Students must complete all four of the Macaulay Honors Seminars and a minimum of four additional honors courses at John Jay. Students must also complete honors in the major whenever available, and a senior thesis, or a capstone project. In addition to these academic requirements, students must engage in community service, internships, undergraduate research, study abroad, and Honors College Common Events over the course of all four years in the Macaulay Honors College.
