A total of 116 Schuylerville High School students took part in the SUNY Adirondack Instant Admit Day, held right on the high school campus. SUNY Adirondack offers a wide range of academic programs designed to help students seamlessly transfer to four-year colleges and universities or step directly into high-demand careers. The Instant Admit initiative provides an accessible and stress-free pathway to admission, ensuring that every student can explore college opportunities regardless of their future plans.
“We’ve seen great success,” said Rhonda Triller, SUNY Adirondack’s Director of Marketing and Communications. “This is our second year in a row doing it, and we’re growing every year in terms of the number of districts who participate. Last year, four out of five participating schools saw an increased percentage of students attending. Instant Admit Days really show students—especially those who may not have believed they were college ready—that there are possibilities for them at SUNY Adirondack. And for students already planning to attend college, we offer excellent options and a great start toward a bachelor’s degree.”
How Instant Admit Works
- Schuylerville sends each participating student’s transcript to a SUNY Adirondack admissions representative.
- An application is created for the student on their behalf.
- Students receive an official acceptance letter directly from SUNY Adirondack—many on the same day.
HVCC Instant Admit Success
Schuylerville also hosted an HVCC (Hudson Valley Community College) Instant Admit Day for interested seniors. Thirteen students were accepted into various programs offered by HVCC, such as nursing, marketing, business administration, electrical construction & maintenance, paramedic studies, liberal arts & science, and more.
Students who completed their HVCC application ahead of time were scheduled for individual appointments on campus. An HVCC admissions representative met one-on-one with each student, to review the application, discuss the program they selected, and answer questions about next steps.
“These personalized approaches help students feel confident and informed as they move toward their post-secondary goals,” said Principal Mark Brooks. “We want every student to feel supported in finding the path that fits their interests and aspirations, and opportunities like Instant Admit Days make that process accessible to everyone.”
