I'm planning to transfer to Brooklyn College next semester. What are the specific transfer requirements like GPA, recommendations, and deadlines? I want to make sure I have everything I need before I apply.
Brooklyn College, part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, has its own set of specific requirements for transfer students. Here's a general overview:
1. GPA: While the minimum GPA required for transfer students can fluctuate slightly from year to year based on the applicant pool, typically a GPA around 2.5 or higher would be competitive for Brooklyn College.
2. High School/College Transcripts: The college will primarily look at your college transcripts, but they also require high school transcripts from all transferees who have earned less than 24 college credits.
3. Recommendations: Brooklyn College does not require recommendations for transfer students. However, these can be submitted to supplement the application.
4. Application: The CUNY system uses a shared application, so you apply through the general CUNY application and choose Brooklyn College as your desired institution. There's an application fee of $70.
The most important part of the application process is ensuring you have all your materials submitted by the deadline. For the Fall semester, Brooklyn College's priority deadline is generally around February 1, although applications may still be accepted on a space-available basis after this date. However, I would definitely recommend submitting your materials as soon as possible to have the best chance of admission.
Remember, admission requirements and deadlines can sometimes change, so it's a good idea to confirm these details on the college's official website or by contacting the admissions office directly to ensure you have the most accurate, up-to-date information.
