<p>I know this was last posted in almost two months ago, but I would appreciate if I could be chanced for my (maybe…well, probably) final list of colleges to apply to. I also have a couple more questions that hopefully someone will be able to answer.</p>
<p>First, I would like to just re-post my info, as some of it differs from the first post.</p>
<p>Male
Caucasian (I will not be applying as Native American because my family failed to keep records of our ancestry and this would make registering [something I probably should have done a LONG time ago.] a lot harder.)

<p>Are those all in about the right spot?</p>
<p>Now for the questions:</p>
<p>-Is it better to ask a junior year or senior year teacher for your recommendation? (This is a stupid question, I’m sure. However, I feel, at least for the colleges I’m applying early to, that my junior year teachers might know me better.)</p>
<p>-I’m considering adding an additional safety college, does anyone have any recommendations in addition to the ones that have already been posted? (I’m considering those as well, but I almost feel like I’m not looking at enough colleges.)</p>
<p>-Can anyone tell me a bit about CUNY - Baruch? Someone mentioned it to me and it seems to have a pretty good business school and a great price, however I can’t find too much information about it other than its website and I don’t see a subforum here to ask in.</p>
<p>Also, Baruch’s website admissions page says this:
Alternately, the College will admit students with minimum SAT/ACT scores of 1200/27 respectively.</p>
<p>If I’m not reading that wrong, does that mean with a 31 that I’m pretty much in? Otherwise is it difficult to get into? (I’m hoping for another safety here ;))</p>
<p>Thank you for your help and again I apologize for bumping this.</p>
