Hunter College transfer advice

I'm looking at transferring to Hunter College and would love some advice on the process. What should I be prepared for and are there any resources I should check out?

Transitioning to a new institution like Hunter College can be an exciting step! Below are some points to consider and resources that might be helpful.

1. Get familiar with the transfer admission requirements: You should understand the specific transfer admission requirements for Hunter College. You need at least a 2.5 GPA from your previous institution(s) and you must be in good academic standing at your previous institution. Other requirements can be checked on the college admissions website or by consulting transfer advisors.

2. Understand the Transfer Credit Evaluation process: Hunter College has a comprehensive guide to transfer credit evaluations on their website. This guide can answer most of your questions about how your credits transfer. Additionally, it would be useful to meet with an academic advisor once you're admitted to determine how these credits will apply to your intended major.

3. Complete your application: Hunter College uses the CUNY application for its transfer process and there is a $70 application fee.

4. Prepare necessary documents: Be ready to submit your official transcripts from all colleges previously attended. If you have fewer than 24 credits, you will also need to provide your final high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores.

5. Financial Aid: If you're applying for financial aid, make sure to submit your FAFSA. You should use the school code 002689 for Hunter College.

6. Housing: If you're considering living in Hunter College's residence halls, be sure to look into the application process for housing as it might be separate from the admission application process.

In terms of resources, definitely make use of Hunter College's Transfer Student Services. Their office provides assistance on the transfer student journey, from pre-admission counseling to orientation and advising. They're a handy resource and can help answer any question you might have.
