Use the source notes to check the measures and reporting periods behind each list. - [Similar admissions profiles](#similar-admissions) · 5 matches - [Higher admission rates](#higher-admission) · 5 matches - [Nearby alternatives](#nearby-alternatives) · 5 matches - [Similar overall profiles](#related-peers) · 10 matches ## Similar admissions profiles This group compares colleges with admission rates within 10 percentage points of CUNY Bernard M Baruch College’s.
