I'm thinking about transferring to Brooklyn College and was wondering what the minimum GPA requirement is? I'm coming from another CUNY school, and I want to make sure my current grades will be enough to be considered.
The City University of New York (CUNY)—which Brooklyn College is part of—has a general policy of requiring a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) for internal transfers between its institutions. However, certain programs and majors at Brooklyn College may enforce higher GPA requirements. For example, some programs in the natural sciences, mathematics, and arts tend to require higher GPAs.
A crucial point is that exceeding the minimum requirements will boost your transfer application. Admission can be competitive, especially for popular programs, and the more you can do to stand out academically, the better your chances. Beyond your GPA, the college would also consider the strength of your coursework, your reasons for wanting to transfer, and your involvement in extracurricular activities.
I would suggest reaching out to Brooklyn College’s Admissions Office directly to understand the GPA requirements specific to your intended major and what can set your application apart in the transfer process.
