🎓In this episode of The College Admissions Process Podcast, host John Durante welcomes back Jarvis Dieujuste, Admissions Advisor at Hunter College, for an insightful and energizing conversation on how one of the flagship schools of the CUNY system supports students from all backgrounds — before, during, and after the admissions process.
Jarvis shares valuable updates about new programs at Hunter, unpacks the college’s holistic review process, and dives deep into how Hunter fosters a strong sense of community for commuters, while maintaining accessibility and affordability 🎓💰.
✅ Top 4 Takeaways for Students & Families:
🔍 Holistic Review With a Human Touch
Hunter takes a comprehensive view of each student — beyond GPAs. Jarvis explains how factors like course rigor, essays, recommendation letters, and even optional interviews all contribute to a student’s story.
🎭 Commuter Life Can Still Be Campus Life
With 100+ clubs (including a 🥪 Ham & Cheese Club! 😂), Hunter proves you don’t need dorms to build community. Jarvis, a Hunter alum himself, shares how he built meaningful relationships and became a club founder as a commuter.
💸 Affordability and Financial Aid Are Game Changers
Programs like TAP, Excelsior, and FAFSA-based aid make Hunter one of the most affordable 4-year colleges in the country. Jarvis shares his own powerful story of finishing college debt-free after personal hardship.
🔁 Transfer Pathways Open Doors
Students can start at other institutions and transfer to Hunter through dedicated support, personalized credit evaluation, and a new Transfer Center 🏫📤. There are always second chances in college admissions.
