<p>i would like to know more about several NYC colleges such as Fordham, Marymount Manhattan, Pace, Baruch.
i am now a senior- (not sure of my exact GPA) but junior year i had a couple mid-high 80's than all mid 90's. (9-10th grade mid 80's mostly) My SAT score was not good (1360). i have a job and hopefully volunteering at my hospital this summer... etc. </p>

<p>SO. what colleges should visit this summer/ do i have any chances in any NYC schools?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Baruch is one of the more selective colleges within the City College system, and you probably are not competitive there. You might have a chance at Pace, if you are not seeking a merit scholarship. Your test scores are at the low end of their median range. Marymount Manhattan might be a reach - your scores fall below the 25th percentile. I’d say that Fordham is too extreme a reach for you. What about Wagner, on Staten Island? They are test-optional and have a 72% acceptance rate.</p>

<p>@woogzmama thanks for the reply! do you have any other ideas of colleges in manhattan? or a closer reach than staten island?</p>

<p>Hunter, City College.</p>

<p>City College is possible; the OPs test scores fall well below Hunter’s 25th percentile.</p>

<p>Hunter has a 30% acceptance rate and applicants would need around 1100/1600 on SAT CR+M to be competitive which OP probably doesn’t have

<p>Look at Eugene Lang/The New School, in Manhattan & test optional

<p>If you’re interested in Marymount Manhattan and Fordham (which is really too much of reach), with your SAT scores you have a shot at Manhattan College, also in the Bronx (but in Riverdale, a nicer neighborhood than where Fordham is and a 30 minute subway ride from midtown) <a href=“http://manhattan.edu/”>http://manhattan.edu/&lt;/a&gt; and Manhattanville, in Purchase NY </p>

<p>Are you going to retake that SAT?</p>

<p>St Joe’s, St John’s, Queens, Borough of Manhattan CC…</p>

<p>There are no private NYC colleges that you would get into aside from Pace and LIU Brooklyn. I am assuming you are only looking at schools within the 5 boroughs. LIU Brooklyn is Downtown Brooklyn which is literally just a bridge away from Manhattan. Aside from that, you can apply to the CUNYs, but they are becoming increasingly competitive.</p>
