Yesterday, CUNY announced that it was cutting off its freshmen applications starting tomorrow because of record enrollment. Historically, students have been able to apply to CUNY through the summer. City Room reports, "It is the first time in memory that CUNY will impose an across-the-board cutoff for applications to its 11 senior colleges and six community colleges... by late April, CUNY had already received 69,220 freshmen applications for the fall, 26 percent more than the number submitted through mid-July of 2008." CUNY spokesman Michael Arena said, "We're being inundated with applications. We're at a point where we need to manage our resources so we can provide the quality students have come to expect."
