SUNY launches direct admission program for top high school seniors
The State University of New York (SUNY) has launched a new program designed to streamline the college application process and offer direct admission to its most promising students. This initiative, named SUNY Direct Admission, provides a clear path for top high school seniors who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership potential.
Under this program, eligible students with outstanding GPA, standardized test scores, and extracurricular involvement can be admitted directly to a SUNY campus without going through the traditional application process. They will be assessed based on their academic achievements and potential, rather than solely on their scores.
This simplified approach aims to alleviate the stress and pressure often associated with college applications, allowing students to focus on their academics and personal pursuits. It also provides students with a clear and efficient pathway to their chosen SUNY institution.
“SUNY Direct Admission is a game-changer for high-achieving students,” stated Chancellor John King. “It ensures that our brightest minds have a seamless transition to higher education, allowing them to focus on their academic journey and contribute to the SUNY community.”
The program is initially being rolled out at several SUNY campuses, with plans to expand it to more institutions in the future. It is anticipated to attract top talent from across the state and beyond, strengthening the academic profile and diversity of SUNY campuses.
This innovative program underscores SUNY’s commitment to making higher education accessible and attainable for all, while simultaneously attracting the most talented students to its renowned academic institutions.
