CUNY HONORS:
Macaulay Honors College (mostly known as CUNY Honors) is a bit harder. I am in City College Honors. All the attending CUNY schools in Honors have different requirements but for the most part you need a average of 93+, a SAT score of 1400+ out of a possible 1600, recommendations and an exceptional essay. CUNY Honors also takes many kids from Midwood and the Specialized High Schools, so your chances are much better if you attend any of these high schools.
Also, Other than the Macaulay Honors College there are also individual Honor programs within each CUNY college. Check up on those as well.

Well let me be the first to say that it's not hard. I can pretty much say that I have seen kids that are just barely passing getting into Brooklyn College. As long as you have the 40 high school credits, 70+ average, and like what, maybe a 800 on your SAT score, they will take you.
CUNY is not hard to get into. You should try for CUNY Honors or the other special programs they have within CUNY.
