I think you have a shot at all of the schools. NYU might be a bit of a reach if you apply to Stern. I’d say Fordham is a match and Baruch and Rutgers are pretty safe options. I’d recommend applying non-binding EA/rolling when you can so you get some answers by December. If you live in NJ consider applying to TCNJ as well and if you live in NY consider SUNY Binghamton.
If you’re aiming for Baruch, I should warn you that they’re at times unethical when it comes to grading business courses. You’re safe if you’re in the top five percent, but otherwise, you’re curved down to B- or worse so they could motivate the student to pursue some other major. Their business school only wants the best of the best, and that’s how they’re able to compete against Ivy leagues.
Judging by your stats, however, I wouldn’t be too concerned; you seem to have the discipline to make it!
TCNJ has one of the top rated Bschools as per Bloomberg ranked #34 in the country. Also known, for a top 20 accounting program. Very competitive . Worth real consideration.
You have a shot at all mentioned…with NYU a bit of a reach as already mentioned. I will have to and that while TCNJ is a solid school as noted by stones3, it just does not have the reputation of the schools you are looking at.
