48 RCS students are instantly admitted to HVCC

Forty-eight RCS seniors have ensured themselves the start of a higher education next fall.

The students lined up to be part of Hudson Valley Community College’s instant Admissions Day at RCS on Wednesday, seizing the opportunity of no application fee and instantaneous response to their application to enroll in the college, RCS School Counselor Peter Dwyer reported.

“Two representatives from HVCC came here and the students were accepted on the spot, with the $40 application fee waived,” Dwyer reported.

The students enrolled in programs ranging from criminal justice to engineering and manufacturing technology.

Dwyer said the 48 students represent a 9 percent increase from last year, when 44 students took advantage of the instant admissions day.
