Can anyone break down what the transfer requirements are for Bernard M Baruch College at CUNY? I'm working on my application and want to ensure I meet all prerequisites or criteria for transfer students.
Baruch College, which is a part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, has a few core requirements for transfer students:
1. A completed application through the CUNY application portal.
2. Your academic transcripts: You'll need to submit official transcripts from all colleges attended. Also, if you've earned fewer than 24 college credits, you'll need to submit your high school transcript or GED as well.
3. Minimum GPA: While there isn't a strict GPA cutoff, Baruch College does look for a competitive GPA. Primarily, the focus is on achieving a minimum grade of C in all courses, especially those within your intended major.
4. SAT/ACT scores: If you've earned fewer than 24 college credits, you'll need to submit your SAT or ACT scores. But the test requirement is waived for those who have earned 24 or more college credits.
5. Important note on credits: Something to keep in mind is that a maximum of 68 credits can be transferred from a two-year institution while a maximum of 90 credits can be transferred from a four-year institution.
Every transfer situation is unique, so make sure to verify this information with information found directly on Baruch's website or by contacting their admissions office directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information. They ultimately possess the final say in transfer requirements and can advise you more personally based on your individual situation. Remember, successful transfer is not just about meeting minimum requirements, so you'll want to have a competitive application overall.
