More about how the Macaulay Scholarship is funded
Please note that you must be a NY State resident in order to receive the scholarship. You can establish NY State residency after one year and become eligible for the scholarship.
Academics and Credit
Don’t declare a major over the summer because it could impact your financial aid. Please forward any emails you get about this to your advisor. If CUNYfirst shows your major as declared, you can undeclare it by using these instructions: https://students.brooklyn.edu/knowledge-base/how-to-drop-remove-your-major-or-minor/
Please have your AP scores sent by College Board to Brooklyn College, school code 2046.

If you have CUNY credits earned during high school, the Transfer Office will retrieve those from the system and post them to your account. If you don’t see them on your transfer credit report: https://www.brooklyn.edu/teo/transfer-credit-report/, please email tcevaluation@brooklyn.cuny.edu to let them know you have done coursework at a CUNY campus.
If you have non-CUNY college credits earned during high school, you can have the official transcript sent to :

A score of 5 is required on an AP English exam to skip ENGL 1010 (we still recommend taking it in honors if a seat is available.) If you scored below 5 on AP English you will need to deny the credits using this form: https://www.brooklyn.edu/teo/petition-to-forfeit-exam-credits/
If you receive AP credit for another class you are already registered for, let your advisor know so we can advise you on whether to change your schedule or forfeit the credits.
Math Placement
All incoming students are placed into MATH 1006 by default. If you would like to take pre-calculus or calculus, you must first take the Qualifying Exam. Not all majors require higher math so discuss your plans with your advisor.
***All pre-health students take CHEM 1200 which requires that you place into pre-calculus or above through AP credits or the qualifying exam. Please fill out this form to let us know how you meet this requirement, by August 1st: Macaulay Brooklyn Math Placement Class of 2030 – Fill out form
