I'm thinking of transferring to Brooklyn College and I'm curious about the minimum GPA requirement for transfer students. If anyone has experience with this, could you share what GPA Brooklyn College typically looks for in transfer applicants?
Brooklyn College, which is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, doesn't officially publish a strict GPA cut off for transfer applicants. However, based on past applicant history, it seems that they generally look for a GPA of around 2.5 or higher for transfer students.
Remember that admissions can be competitive and meeting the minimum GPA requirement doesn't necessarily guarantee admission. Like most colleges, Brooklyn College takes into consideration several other factors such as the rigor of your previous coursework, affiliation with certain programs, or other special circumstances along with your GPA. A strong application will also display progression in academic performance, involvement in extracurriculars, and a well-articulated reason for the intended transfer.
Before transferring, I would recommend getting in touch with the admissions office at Brooklyn College to discuss your specific circumstances and to obtain the most accurate information.
