Applying as Transfer Student - Which CUNY/NYC School is Best for Me?

Hi all,

I’ve been out of school for two years to save up money and pay down my student loans and am now ready to return. I have a 3.6 GPA from SUNY Purchase. I’m in NYC now though and would like a school in the city. I applied late to CUNY (Brooklyn, City, Queens, and Hunter) for the Spring 2014 semester and was denied… I more than met the average acceptance requirements so I’m assuming it was because I applied so late (October). Does that seem right?

I’m looking to apply again for Fall 2015 and but am not sure which CUNY would be best. I admittedly am not sure what I would like to study now – I was studying Psychology at Purchase, but I’m thinking of International Relations or Anthropology. Perhaps it’s silly but I’m less concerned with what I get a degree in, just that I get one before I feel completely out of my element in an academic setting (I’m starting to feel like I may never go back…).

Any advice on the best CUNYs or perhaps any other affordable schools in the city would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Caitlin

Anyone?
