How I can I help my chances of getting into ccny

I have a sat of a 1220 and a 3.8 gpa what can I do to help my chances

It’s a city school. Most people that apply there either because of their mediocre scores or for a back up if they don’t get accepted into their target school.

All of the CUNY schools can be applied to with one application and one fee. That is the reason for the low acceptance rate along with the fact that most applications are from city kids that have done poorly in high school.

I personally think you have a great chance of being admitted. Your SAT is about average for getting in and your GPA is not a problem. Good luck!
