<p>I was rejected by Baruch and Hunter but was accepted to YORK College. MY GPA was 3.0 as an accounting major. Sadly, i didnt apply to brooklyn college and I really dont want to go to YORK college. Is it still possible to apply for brooklyn in person?</p>

<p>You can still apply to Brooklyn, but you won’t get any financial aid, since the FA deadline was about a week ago.</p>

<p>If you don’t wanna go to York, try applying to your local community college, and then transferring out after a year.</p>

<p>I think it might be due to the selectivity of Accounting major in Baruch; which im guessing should be the hardest since it’s their best major.</p>

<p>Yes, but the AVERAGE GPA for Baruch transfers is 3.21</p>

<p>State schools (which would include Baruch and Hunter and the rest of the CUNYS) are getting more selective.</p>

<p>What was your sat score</p>

<p>& does anyone know if this is true :
My friend said CUNYs ONLY look at your GPA & SAT no ECs or Transcript
True?</p>

<p>My SAT score wasnt that great, but my friend got in last year with a 3.0 gpa and terrible sat score. But i guess this year is harder because of people going back to school?</p>

<p>I am almost done with my AAS degree in Accounting at CityTech ( Last semester) and Citytech only have 2 year degree in accounting. Hopefully Ill get in brooklyn. What are my chances of getting in with a 3.0 GPA?</p>

<p>Sharon, no ECs, dont know what you mean by no transcript – they definitely check GPA. SATs can help if you can not demonstate college ready, but no required if over 30 credits.</p>

<p>^
the transcript as in like the rigor of your classes, since your transcript shows all your classes from freshmen year and what grade you got in them</p>

<p>Sharon, I suspect you are correct for transfers coming from 4 yr schools. I think all the cunys actually do their own admission, once the application is in the portal. I think places like Baruch and Hunter may look harder at CC applications, and see how many courses were really college level.</p>

<p>I’m talking about high school kids coming in as freshmens ( I’m a current junior)</p>

<p>Sharon, since we are on the transfer board, I assumed you meant transfers. Here is provile for freshman</p>

<p>I think they do look at SATs for freshman.</p>

<p>Oops sorry I didn’t notice</p>

<p>Thats OK, I agree with your general point that the CUNYs do not take a holistic approach, do not look at ECs, strength of curriculum. They have huge numbers of applicants, and it is pretty much by the numbers.</p>
