I dropped out of high school when I was 16 and now I’m 19, and i’m going to finish my GED exams by this month.
so i asked Baruch if I can apply with only a GED and as an international student, do i need to take toefl or ielts?.. they said no i don’t need it if i take an American GED with a minimum score of 3000. i also asked them if i need to take SAT/ACT (reading and maths). and again they said no, if i take GED they don’t need any standardized test scores.
and i was like ‘wut’? is it that so easy to apply? i thought all american colleges need SATs. i read that Baruch is very selective (only 23% acceptance rate). are they joking or what?

oh and i want to study computer information systems there. do they based their selections on majors too? because i read that accounting is the most competitive of all.

anyone pls help me out?
