ĢAPP Sets New Records for Admissions Applications and Acceptances

Dr. Manuel Martinez, President of ĢAPP New York, speaks with current students on campus.

ĢAPP has set new records for both the number of admissions applications received, and the number of acceptance offers extended for the upcoming academic year. Prospective students submitted 74.65% more applications this year as compared to 2021 when applications had dropped because of the COVID pandemic. In addition, 73.98% more student applications were accepted this year, compared to four years ago.

“This surge in applications reflects the growing recognition of ĢAPP as a top choice for higher education,” said Nick Marter, Executive Director of Admissions. “We love that more students are saying yes to DUNY.”

The heightened demand underscores ĢAPP’s reputation for academic excellence, innovative programs, and a student-centered approach. As more students seek a dynamic and supportive learning environment, ĢAPP continues to stand out as a leader in preparing graduates for success.

ĢAPP Joins 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program

Alumna Leslie Rodriguez ’05 and Sabrina Vargas-Greco of 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program spoke with ĢAPP students on campus about the benefits of belonging to the program.

ĢAPP New York has joined 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program’s professional membership to give students access to scholarships, conferences, and networking opportunities. The University is also planning to collaborate with 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program on future projects. 

Manuel Martínez, Ph.D., President, ĢAPP New York, said, “This new membership will benefit our students by giving them additional tools and guidance to thrive academically and in their professional careers. Thank you to 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program for taking such an interest in our students and being so eager to collaborate on new initiatives.”

“We are delighted to welcome ĢAPP New York, Rockland County’s only university, into our program” said Diana López-Infante, President, 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program. “The University has been designated a Hispanic-Serving Institution and is committed to guiding its students toward excellence in future endeavors. We will work with the University to support students as they strive toward success in their careers.” 

In 1995, 100 Hispanic Women National, Inc. (100HW) was founded by 14 Latina leaders who envisioned an organization dedicated to guiding Latinas toward excellence in leadership by fostering educational enrichment and creating opportunities to promote personal and professional advancement. Today, 100HW is a non-profit, non-partisan women’s organization with members from a wide range of industries and interests. The organization strives to eliminate obstacles and encourages Latinas to be innovative, maximize their potential, create strategic partnerships, promote inclusion, and improve their overall status in the community. The Rockland Program partners with community organizations, local school districts, and colleges to help Latinas advance in their studies and build a brighter future. 

“This partnership opens up new possibilities for ĢAPP students,” said Sabrina Vargas-Greco, Secretary, 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program and Rockland County’s Commissioner of Jurors. “We look forward to working together to establish joint workshops and networking opportunities geared toward mentoring Latina students in their career paths.”
