Here's what CUNY Baruch College actually looks for, pulled from the real admitted-student numbers — not a wish list. Use these as the bar to clear, then see where your own profile lands.
You'll want to be at or above the 3.55–3.9 band. A few B's are survivable if the rest of the application is strong.
Most admitted students score in the 1100–1400 SAT / 28–32 ACT range. Many selective schools are test-optional right now — check CUNY Baruch College's current policy, but a score inside this band only helps.
Hitting these numbers gets you into the pile. It doesn't get you in. CUNY Baruch College accepts 47.5% of applicants, which means most students with the "right" GPA and scores still get turned down. Course rigor, essays, recommendations, and a clear spike are what separate admits from the rest of the qualified pool.
