BMHEE-
I went to Touro Flatbush, but I’m pretty sure that Touro Manhattan works the same way. They are primarily concerned with composite SAT scores from the critical reading and math sections.
I got a composite 1480 from those two sections, and I had a 99 GPA in high school. They gave me a $13,500 scholarship for the year (the total tuition was $15,000 at the time). They told me that if I retook the SAT and got 20 points higher, they would give me a full scholarship. I decided it wasn’t worth it, since I got $1,500 from the NYS Regents scholarship, which covered the rest of my tuition.
At the time that I entered college, from what I hear I could’ve gotten a full scholarship to Stern based on my SAT scores. However, they apparently no longer give full scholarships. You would have to check out all these details.
In the long run, I think that Touro Manhattan is the better deal, since it gives you what you need without the outrageous expense of Stern.
