<p>I am looking for suggestions for colleges for next year. I am planning to live at home(Manhattan) and am looking for the best options for an undergraduate business degree that I can easily commute to. My goal is to transfer after one year, and use next year to get my grades up. My GPA is 2.8 and my SAT's are 1500. I have some learning issues, so smaller class sizes and on campus support would be considerations. Im at a loss here, so any help would be appreciated. </p>
<p>Baruch is a very well respected business school. I am not sure that you’d get in - your SATs and GPA are a bit low for them - but they are worth you looking at them. They’re quite good. I do not know their class size, though. </p>
<p>You might want to begin at a Community College and then transition to a 4-year CUNY. This is will give you time to adjust to college. Take a look at BMCC, Brooklyn, and Queens (a bit of a commute). If money isn’t an issue, then PACE is a stretch but a possibility. </p>
<p>Hope this helps. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Well I was accepted into CCNY with a 74 gpa and a 1560 on my SATs back in 2009. I don’t know whether their acceptance requirements are still that lenient, but if not, you can go to a community college as others have mentioned for a semester or two before transferring to a four year. You need to have a minimum number of credits before transferring though, and you also have to make sure that the classes you would be transferring over to your school will be accepted and counted towards your degree and/or major. You can use the Tipps website for this, or contact the schools and ask if you have any specific questions about that. Also, if you do not graduate from a community college, be aware that some of the required courses, like the general core requirements, will need to be taken at the four your school, so that even of you took its equivalent at the community college, they will not transfer over to the four year. For example, my friend did not graduate from LaGuardia Community College, but she took biology there as a science core requirement, but Lehman, the CUNY school she is at now, does not acknowledge this class as fulfilling her requirement because it was taken at another school.</p>
<p>Hope this helps you out.</p>
<p>I recommend going to BMCC (or Laguardia or another 2-year cuny) and getting your grades up and then transferring to one of the 4-year schools. They all vary. Baruch is strong in business. City College has an engineering program. Hunter college is better for liberal arts and nursing. </p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. It looks like City College is where I am going to land. Hoping to spend one year there, then transfer.</p>
