Hey there! I've heard great things about Baruch College and I'm thinking I might apply in my senior year. Anyone familiar with their GPA requirements? Any insights would be appreciated!
Baruch College, part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, does not technically have a minimum GPA requirement per se. But it's a competitive school and you'll want to make your application as strong as possible.
Typically, the average high school GPA of the incoming freshman class at Baruch College falls around 3.7 on the 4.0 scale indicating that primarily A- students are accepted and ultimately attend. However, there's a lot of variation, and some students with either a lower or a higher GPA have been accepted in the past.
In addition to your GPA, Baruch College considers multiple factors when reviewing applications, including academic rigor (such as AP or Honors classes), personal essays, and extracurricular activities. Your application materials should present you as a focused, well-rounded student who is ready for college-level academics.
Remember, having a higher GPA doesn't guarantee admission. It's important to put in a good effort on all aspects of your application to demonstrate your potential. You're not just a number!
Good luck with your application!
