Can anyone provide an overview of the requirements for transferring to Hunter College? I'm currently at another college and hoping to make the switch soon.
Sure, I'll outline some main points you need to be aware of when considering to transfer to Hunter College:
1. Credits: Hunter College typically accepts transfer credits from accredited two- and four-year institutions. Although the specific number may vary, students generally need a minimum of 24 credits to apply as a transfer student.
2. GPA: While Hunter doesn't state a specific GPA, a GPA of 3.0 or above is strongly recommended for competitive programs.
3. Application: Submit a transfer application through the CUNY Application website. There's an application fee which can be waived based on financial need.
4. Official Transcripts: Submit official transcripts from all previous colleges attended, and in some cases, your high school transcript as well.
5. Personal Statement: While this is optional, including a personal essay discussing your academic goals and interest in your desired areas of study can only help your applicaion.
6. Supplementary Materials: Depending on the program, you may also need to submit additional materials. For example, the nursing program requires prerequisite coursework.
Please note that admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis, so it's in your best interest to submit your application as soon as you can. Do check their website or contact the admissions office to get the most up-to-date information.
Hope this helps and best of luck with your transfer application!
