<p>^It is not hard. You said that you got 660 on your GMAT, and that is enough becuase Baruch accepts people who have above 500 on their GMAT.</p>
<p>^Thanks for the response Tosh.</p>
<p>I was planning on applying to a school much easier to get into, so I didn’t review the math concepts to refresh my memory. So my breakdown ended up being 52nd percentile in the quantitative section, 95th percentile in the verbal section for a total score of 660 (82nd percentile). </p>
<p>If I’m looking to get into Baruch’s MS Accounting program with a GPA of 3.6, would you guys recommend retaking the GMAT in order to up the quantitative section (this test is awful costly) or do you think I’ll be alright with a 660? You can be honest! Thanks.</p>
<p>Anyone have any input?</p>
<p>You can check their website for stats and admission rates. If you can’t all the information you want on their website, just give Baruch a call.</p>
<p>Do you think they’ll be honest and let me know how competitive I actually will be with those numbers? Or do you think they’ll feed me some line about trying to improve those stats to have a better chance (which is obvious)?</p>
<p>If you know you can do better, retake the exam. It will up your chances of getting in. I rather know that I had the best application possible than get rejected because I was lazy and didn’t want to retake my exams.</p>
<p>Very true. It’s not as much lazy as it is coughing up another 250 bucks. But, I guess that’s what I get for not going all out the first time.</p>
<p>The way I see it is, that 250 dollar can essentially add hundreds of thousands of dollars in earning potential in my lifetime. That 250 is a good investment if you believe you can do much better on your exam.</p>
<p>Yeah, I completely agree. I’ll probably wait until the summer and take it then when I have more time. It’s certainly a wise investment in the long run.</p>
<p>Btw, any recommendations for ways to review the old math material other than spending 600+ on a review course?</p>
<p>If you do not have a practice book,there are plenty of practice questions online so you do not necessarily have to take a course. You can also just drop by barnes and noble, grab a book, and do practice questions.</p>
<p>Another recommendation is to find a study buddy. That usually works much better</p>
<p>Thanks for the help,comment!</p>
<p>Are you saying that my class rigor will not be seen or my ECs -_-?</p>
<p>I’m talking about CUNYs in general btw</p>
<p>Anyone know how difficult it is to get into the MS Acconting program at Baruch right after undergrad? I know they prefer work experience, but I know one of the main reasons to get an MS is to satisfy the requirements for your CPA.</p>
<p>How difficult is it to get into baruch from out of state? college board says only 4% out of state but is that because its difficult, or people just dont apply? i have a 3.0 gpa, 2050 on sat, and internships at NPR and at OPIC in washington dc.</p>
<p>^The requirements are the same for everyone. As you already mentioned, many people just don’t apply; however, there is one difference, which is tuition. Your GPA is a little bit low for transferring, but you can try.</p>
<p>It’s definitely not hard to transfer from out of state, I transferred from a CC in MD with a 3.45. The reason there’s only 4% is because a vast majority of the students are from the NYC area. Baruch doesn’t really stand out.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how good a 3.5 GPA at Baruch is? I feel like everyone at Baruch has a 3.5 GPA, so 3.5 seems average, or maybe even below…</p>
<p>Well, it is definitely not an average. There are more than 13,000 students enrolled, and I doubt most of them have a 3.5 GPA; otherwise, this school would be a joke.</p>
<p>^what he said, it’s definitely above average, especially if you can maintain it to graduation with tougher high level courses. Also depends on what your major is, Baruch is heavily recruited for accounting majors, so a 3.50 might be “average” since you’ll be competing with a lot of other smart accounting students who also want to land a job/internship with the big 4.</p>
