Why does Baruch have a pretty selective percentage yet a somewhat low GPA?

<p>Baruch’s average GPA is around 3.00, yet there selectivity rate is below 50%. How is that? Should i even be considering Baruch even if I don’t want to go for Business (I want to go for Communications or French/Spanish)</p>

<p>cuz GPA =/= important</p>

<p>because everyone applies. also why schools in large metro areas have bloated acceptance rates.</p>
