<p>I'm going to be in NYC and Boston in a four day period (I'll divide between those two depending on where I go in each). What colleges should I visit in each and why? thanks!</p>
<p>This is really hard to answer without some idea of your stats and interests.</p>
<p>The obvious answers: Harvard and MIT in Boston; Columbia in NYC. A notch lower on the selectivity scale are Tufts, Boston College, NYU, and–if you are a girl–Columbia’s lesser-known sister, Barnard. A notch below that you have Boston U, Northeastern (this one gives full tuition scholarships to NMFs), Fordham. And so on.</p>
<p>You really don’t have time to visit more than a couple of these, though, which is where a little information about you would help.</p>
<p>Boston:
H and M
Brandeis, Tufts, BU, BC, Northeastern</p>
<p>NY:
NYU
Columbia
Fordham</p>
<p>3.75 GPA 29 ACT</p>
<p>^Stalking this person because I was curious. They are quite reticent about their stats.</p>
<p>Boston Chances:
Tufts (High reach)
Brandeis (Reach)
BC (High match)
BU (Match)
Northeastern (Match)
Babson (Match)
UMass-Boston (Match or safety, depending on how kind they are to OOS. You’re above their 75th percentile of tests, though.)
Suffolk? (Low safety)</p>
<p>New York Chances
NYU (Low reach/high match)
Fordham (Match)
CUNY Brooklyn (Match or safety, same deal as UMass Boston)
CUNY Hunter (Match or safety, same deal as UMass Boston)
Hofstra, Pace, St. John’s</p>
<p>There are a whole lot of colleges in New York with a 75th percentile between 1700 and 1800 on the SAT. Your 29 is about a 1900. Now it’s 1:36. Good night and good luck.</p>
<p>I’m interested in Hunter, but they are a commuter school, and I didn’t want to lack a college community experience. Are the other CUNYs like that too, specifically Baruch and Brooklyn?</p>
<p>The entire CUNY system is primary designed for NYC residents and therefore most of the campuses will be for commuters.</p>
<p>The SUNY system is different and many of the campuses are highly residential, but none are in NYC. The closest major SUNY campus to NYC would be Stony Brook – 60 miles out on Long Island.</p>
<p>If you are interested in business/accounting, Pace might be an option as well.</p>
<p>You should also look into The New School and see if any of their programs are of interest to you.</p>
<p>Check out this link. It has information about the housing options and the CUNYs.
Got the tip from another user who said that CUNY Brooklyn was opening up new dorms.</p>

For Baruch, they have a relatively new residence hall.</p>
