College Applications
Where to Obtain College Applications
- Applications for schools in the SUNY system (State University of New York) can be accessed at www.SUNY.edu and more information about the application is available in the Student Services Office. Most SUNY colleges require a supplemental application that can also be completed online or downloaded from their website.
- The Common Application- utilized by over 600 schools, is available at www.commonapp.org . More information about the application is available in Student Services. All SUNY schools are available on either the Common Application or the SUNY application.
- Applications for colleges not found on the Common Application may be obtained through the individual schools' websites.
- QuestBridge Application - Deadline to apply September 30 - For high-achieving students (typically 10% of class) from low-income backgrounds. Most of the students who are selected as finalists come from households earning less than $65,000 per year for a household of four with minimal assets (assets include savings, investments, and homes, properties, or businesses owned). However, there are no absolute cut-offs. If a student comes from a household earning more than this amount but feels that they have faced economic hardship and fit the QuestBridge criteria of high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds, we would encourage that student to apply. There is room on the application to explain the household's situation. QuestBridge will thoroughly review the financial information in each student's application. Students who are selected as Finalists will need to submit official documentation verifying their financial situation directly to the colleges to which they apply.
