Review & Notification
Applications are initially evaluated by the Graduate Admissions Office. Ordinarily, only applications of those who have fulfilled the minimum requirements are referred to the department. Faculty admissions committees then evaluate and select the most qualified candidates. The number of qualified applicants far exceeds the number of applicants who can be admitted.
Because departmental committees base recommendations for admission upon careful comparison of applications, it may be some time before final decisions are made. As a result there cannot be a guarantee that applicants will receive a response, favorable or unfavorable, on or before any specific date.
Only written notice from the Director of Graduate Admissions (or the Dean of the Silberman School of Social Work if your are applying to the Silberman School of Social Work) constitutes approval of admission.
Hunter College does not grant deferrals of admission; you must reapply.
You need to complete and submit a new graduate degree application online in order to reapply to a graduate program at Hunter College. If you have previously applied online you will need to create a new account using a NEW USERNAME AND PASSWORD.In order to successfully submit a new application YOU MUST:
