I'm interested in transferring to Baruch College from another CUNY school. What are the transfer student requirements? I'm particularly concerned about GPA and any specific application materials needed.
The CUNY to CUNY transfer process is usually straightforward as the institution's policies are often designed to facilitate transitions within the system.
To be eligible to transfer to Baruch College, there are certain requirements you need to meet. The exact GPA requirement may vary depending on the specific program you're interested in. However, a competitive applicant generally has a GPA of 3.0 or higher. This is not a strict cut-off and a lower GPA does not necessarily rule you out, especially if you have strong components in other areas of your application.
As a transfer applicant, you'll need to submit the following:
1. The online CUNY Transfer Application: This is the first step and it can be found on the CUNY application portal.
2. Transcripts: You will need to submit an official transcript from your current CUNY institution, as well as from any other post-secondary institutions you've attended.
3. Immunization records and proof of residency: These may also be required as part of the application.
Remember to review the specific transfer requirements for your desired program of study, as some might have additional prerequisites or course requirements you need to meet. Also, keep an eye on deadline dates so that you can submit your application on time - the deadline if you want to transfer for the fall term is February 1, and September 15 for the spring term.
