Chances at NYIT or Pace?

Hi everyone!

I am student from Canada that did very poorly in high school due to various personal circumstances. Thus, my high school GPA is very poor (around 2.1 - 2.5). I have also been out of high school for several years. More recently, I upgraded some of my courses and completed Physics 11, Math 11, Math 12 and English 11 with an average of 3.65. I have also scored a 1380 on the SAT. I am hoping to go to NY for school and was wondering if anyone had any experiences with a low gpa and relatively high SAT score?

I was looking into Pace University and NYIT as of right now. Furthermore, due to being out of school for a while, it would be difficult for me to get reference letters. I might be able to get one from an employer. How would this affect my chances?

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I got into NYIT with a 2.0 GPA and a 1070 GPA, honestly i don’t know how i got in but its worth a shot
