Some of the schools I’m applying to have very low admission rates, so it’s pretty unrealistic to expect to get in. Some of the more safety/reach schools seem to be good for chance threads. Please chance and give advice :slight_smile:

As far as I know, gym isn’t counted in the GPA in NYS. If it was, I would never have graduated as highly ranked in my class as I did.

Your gpa and scores seem fine for all of the CUNY’s and Albany. I would check on the suny.edu site, which gives the ranges for all of the schools. CUNY may have something similar. If you go to CUNY, where would you live? You have to think about the commute. Queens has a dorm but I think the others only have housing for Macaulay, grad and/or international students, though I would confirm this. I attended CUNY back in the day when the only dorms were for nursing students at Hunter.

Thanks for the info, I will look into housing as well. Unfortunately, my school does count gym on my transcript, if it didn’t, my GPA would be a solid 90.

You should be fine for Buffalo. You can look up the common data set to find out about Stoneybrook and Binghamton.
