you want to transfer there and you don't even spell the name right?
Baruch is one of the top colleges in CUNY. It has several good graduate programs namely accounting, finance, MBA. The best and most selective program at Baruch is MFE (Financial Engineering). The acceptance into the program is 11% this year.
I went to graduate school there so I'm not sure about their undergraduate programs.

I go to their business school which is one of their strengths, this is my first semester but they do have clubs and social events and I also noticed students wearing frat letters so i guess they have frats/sororities. Lot of cute girls too=)

For one thing, you'll have a lot better luck with your applications if your English (which you claim to be "taking") improves. It appears that you don't capitalize words that are supposed to be capitalized, and you end sentences with prepositions. Even in a world where people rely on spell-check--which doesn't improve your spelling, but only offers options--there's still no excuse for bad spelling or bad grammar.

^^ he may have been harsh, but "you'll" is perfectly fine written conversational tone if you ask me. ::shrugs:: Writing is my business, so I guess that's my two cents.

btw Baruch's probably a sure thing as far as a 3.6 goes. Their rep is good too, but I dunno if that goes beyond the NYC metro because CUNY schools aren't that well-known I don't think.

It's tough love but in the long run such advice, along with proper spelling of the college's name, will help the OP to succeed in getting from point A to B.
