The City University of New York (CUNY) is a renowned public university system with multiple campuses across New York City, offering accessible and high-quality education to a diverse student body. When it comes to admissions at CUNY, SAT scores play a significant role for many of its colleges, particularly the senior colleges like Baruch, Hunter, and Brooklyn College. While SAT scores are an important factor, the admissions process at the City University of New York often considers a holistic view of applicants, including high school GPA, extracurricular activities, and other academic achievements. Prospective students should understand the specific SAT requirements or expectations for the CUNY campus they are applying to, as standards can vary between colleges within the system.

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

  • Score Range: 1050–1300 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing + Math for competitive campuses like Baruch or Hunter)
  • Average Score: Approximately 1150 for many senior colleges within CUNY
  • 75th Percentile: Around 1250–1300 for top-tier CUNY schools, meaning 75% of admitted students score below this range

Key Points:

  • SAT/ACT scores are currently test-optional for most CUNY colleges due to recent policy changes, though submitting scores can strengthen an application.
  • Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, alongside high school performance and other criteria, rather than strict cutoffs.
  • CUNY does not officially superscore SAT results, so applicants should submit their best single-sitting score.
  • Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores, or college-level coursework, may be considered for placement or admissions at the City University of New York.
  • For competitive programs, applicants are encouraged to aim for SAT scores above 1200 to increase their chances of admission to top CUNY campuses.
