Im really worried about getting accepted into cuny like ccny or queens college. I have a 1300 sat but loe gpa. I have 2.5 gpa i know it is low. I have my reasons why its low which i would include in my essay. If my essay is good and have good recomendations and based on my gpa and sat could i be accepted to CCNY or Queens College or you think its a longshot.
I have to be honest, it is pretty low for those colleges. Some SUNYs will be closer to your stats than others- it’s a good idea to research their campuses with higher acceptance rates. If your heart is set on it, certainly apply, but I would advise you to spend the majority of your time on applications to places that are more likely to accept you.
Your SAT score is quite good and may boost you, but will not completely make up for your GPA.
Which suny’s?
Will teacher recommendations help?
Try checking [this list](https://www.suny.edu/media/suny/content-assets/documents/summary-sheets/Admissions_qf_stateop.pdf). It’s probably better to have your guidance counselor address any personal issues that contributed to your GPA.
