The SUNY 10% Promise provides direct admission to high school seniors in New York State in the top 10% of their high school class who also meet specific academic preparation requirements.
Eligible students will be automatically matched with one or more selective and unique SUNY campuses!
Students must be in the top 10% of their high school class AND at least one of the following:
OR
No. If a student is not admitted to one of the ten SUNY campuses through the Top 10% Direct Admission Program they should not apply again. Students are given full admission consideration through this program.
Yes! Students are able to apply to additional campuses through the traditional application and review processes.
No. Students should use the applySUNY application if they are interested in this program.
After acceptance to the campus, the student will be asked to select the major they are interested in. If the major they are interested in does not appear in the list as an option, the student has not met the academic criteria to be admitted to that major.
Some majors may require additional steps. If the student selects one of those majors, we will inform them additional steps are required. The campus will then follow up directly with the student about those steps.
Students are able to apply to additional campuses through the traditional application and review processes.
School counselors can find more information on the Top 10 Promise in the SUNY Counselor Portal.
