International Student in New York

Hey guys!

I’m planning on applying for college in NYC in the near future. I’ve been looking at York College and New York City College of Technology. I’d like to apply to a 4-year college as a freshman, but my problem is my GPA: 2.5. Is there any, tiny chance that I’m able to get accepted to any of my choices with my GPA? OR should I attend community college and get better grades = better GPA and then transfer? Thanks!

Both are possible. You may even get into CSI.
Is that a “real” 2.5 or did you translate yourself? What country are you from, what system/boards are you preparing? (GCSE; A-Level, IB, CBSE, Baccalauréat…)
Do you have an SAT or ACT score? A TOEFL score?
Will you need financial aid or can your parents cover all costs?
Does your college have to be in NYC, in NYS, or can it be nearby?
