What are my chances of getting into a cuny four-year college

my first 3 years of HS average was not so great( all around 70-75) but i’ ve improved in my senior year, i retake all the courses that i didn’t do well and got a very high average. However, when i spoke to the admission counselor of BK college, he said my SAT score on reading didn’t meet the requirement( did good on math) and if i got 75 or higher on the English regent ( i got 81 on english regent) they will accept me. BTW my act score is R 19, M 25 . I am 1 point lower than the requirement, does it make a big difference ?

I don’t how the cuny system really works, i got different responses from different people
