What are the transfer requirements for Brooklyn College?

I'm trying to compile all the necessary info for transferring to Brooklyn College and am not sure about their specific requirements. Can anyone outline what I need to apply?

Sure, here's a general rundown of what Brooklyn College looks for in prospective transfer students:

1. GPA: You should have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale from all colleges you've previously attended. However, many competitive programs require higher GPAs, so you'll want to aim as high as you can.

2. Credits: To be considered a transfer student, you need to have earned at least 24 semester credits at a regionally accredited college or university. If you have fewer than 24 credits, you'll also need to meet the freshman admissions requirements.

3. High School Records: If you have fewer than 24 college credits, you will need to submit your official high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores.

4. College Transcripts: You need to submit official transcripts from all colleges/universities you've attended.

5. Personal Statement: Like many colleges, Brooklyn College would like to hear why you want to attend their institution in your own words. The personal statement isn't just a place to restate information found elsewhere on your application; it should provide context for your motivations and goals.

6. English Proficiency: If your native language is not English and you haven't spent at least 3 years in an English-language school system, you might need to provide proof of English proficiency. This can be a TOEFL iBT score of 61 or more, an IELTS score of 5.5 or more, or a Duolingo English Test score of 105 or more.

7. Admissions Review: All applications are reviewed for evidence of satisfactory academic performance and potential. They analyze grades, GPA, and the trend of your academic performance over time. The college also looks at your involvement in extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and other personal achievements.

Keep in mind that specific majors may have additional prerequisites or requirements, so it's helpful to check individually with the department of your intended major. Please note that all documentation becomes property of Brooklyn College, so do not submit originals/copies that you might need in the future. All the best with your transfer process!
