<p>I'm an incoming senior at a Hawaii high school looking to attend CUNY-Baruch.
I was wondering if it makes a difference whether you're in-state or not. (If it increases/decreases/no effect on chances at admissions, etc.)</p>
<p>Thanks in advanced.</p>
<p>Just like any public college, it matters, but I'm not sure to what extent. You might try looking them up to see what percentage is in vs. out of state. </p>
<p>If you don't mind me asking, why CUNY Baruch? It seems like sort of an odd choice coming from Hawaii.</p>
<p>indeed, that's a really bizarre choice from an outsider's perspective. I think in-state is given a priority to all CUNYs as the system has an obligation to educate the state. This is in a similar manner to just about every state system. Baruch isn't too hard to get into though.</p>
<p>She might actually get a boost because I doubt Baruch has too many Hawaiians</p>
<p>It will help a a lot because Baruch is looking to become more well known. My cousin from Florida got in with not so great stats comapred to those that get in from NY.</p>
<p>Bentley89: Why that far huh? Hahaha. Basically I want change. I want to be far away from "home" and experience new things. I love the city life and my aunty lives about 10 minutes away from the school. Also, I heard their business program is pretty good so I'm planning to go for it. Plus, I'm an average student (B average) with decent SAT scores so it looks like a match school for me.</p>
<p>Dennis173: If you don't mind me asking, what were your cousins stats?</p>
<p>85
1080 SAT score</p>
<p>Baruch has a decent undergraduate business program. The tuition is dead cheap for out of state students. If you want to come to the east coast, why not? Please note that Manhattan rents are very expenses. :mad: Since Baruch does not provide housing, can you live with your aunt for 4 year?</p>
<p>Hope this help. :D</p>
<p>*BUMP</p>
<p>Also, I have another question.</p>
<p>According to the Baruch website, the requirements for undergraduate admission says: "We suggest students complete a minimum of 4 years on English, 4 years of social studies, 3 years of mathematics, 2 years of foreign language 2 years of lab science and 1 year of visual arts. Students who meet these criteria will be admitted based on their overall high school performance and their performance on these index subjects. [[[Alternately, the College will admit students with minimum SAT/ACT scores of R1200/27 respectively.]]]"</p>
<p>Does that last sentence mean if you have at least a V/M of 1200 or ACT comp. of 27 you're in? </p>
<p>Thanks to anyone who can help. I really appreciate it.</p>
