PLEASE HELP Advice on what to do/who to contact

It’s a long story and unexpected but I want to apply to City Tech for Fall 2026.

My high school made us submit a CUNY application months ago and although I got into the colleges, I ended up declining and I didn’t apply to City Tech. Now, the application is not letting me add/remove any of the colleges that I originally put. I Googled if this is possible and it said “you can’t change, add, or remove colleges yourself through the online portal.”

Can I call or email someone? I’m just not sure which one will get a faster response because the application is due in a few days. I think I read somewhere that you can only call them from Monday - Thursday at a certain time and it’s already Friday unfortunately.

Someone mentioned that their CUNY had instant admission decision days. Does anyone know if City Tech does too?

Also, does anyone know when course registration opened at City Tech? I know the priority deadline to apply to CUNYs was back in February. I’m not sure what classes to expect applying last minute (I didn’t expect to have to do this).

Any serious advice is appreciated.

Hi,

I'm so grateful that I got into these two schools. I was admitted to USC and got into an honors program and I committed by the May 1 deadline. I already told everyone that I committed to USC. Barnard just admitted me off of the waitlist. I'm not sure where to go now and I'm so conflicted.

I visited USC's campus and it was really beautiful. I feel like I want a big change and more independence. My parents want me to go to Barnard because it's closer (we're from NYC) and because I will have access to Columbia's resources.

I'm pre-med and my goals are to get good opportunities like internships, research, volunteering, etc., get into a top med school, and make a lot of friends. I'm someone who's interested in multiple things and not just pre-med. I really wanted to explore LA but now, I'm not sure what to do. Any advice is helpful.
