I'm looking into transferring to CUNY Hunter College and want to make sure I understand all the transfer requirements. Are there specific credits or courses I need before applying?
While it's always best to consult directly with the admissions office or check the latest information available on CUNY Hunter College's official website, I can provide some general information about their transfer requirements.
When transferring to CUNY Hunter College, there are a few key requirements:
1. Cumulative GPA: While Hunter College doesn't specify a minimum GPA for transfer students, admission is competitive. A higher GPA from your current institution will bolster your chances.
2. College Credits: You should have earned 24 or more college credits at the time of your application as a transfer student. If you have fewer than 24 credits, you will need to meet the same standards as incoming first-year students.
3. High School Transcript and SAT/ACT Scores: If you have earned fewer than 24 college credits, you may be required to submit your high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores.
4. Transcripts: You'll need to submit your official transcript(s) from each college you have attended.
5. Course Requirements: There are no specific course requirements for transferring, but you want to make sure the courses you've taken at your current institution will transfer over. Look over Hunter's course catalog, and consider meeting with an academic advisor from both your current institution and Hunter.
6. Personal Essay: While not always required, it's usually a good idea to submit a personal essay detailing your reasoning for wanting to transfer to give admissions a better understanding of your motivations.
Also, for certain competitive programs, there may be additional requirements, so if you're interested in a specific program, you should definitely check their program-specific details.
Again, please consult directly with Hunter College's transfer admissions office or their website for the most accurate information. Best of luck with your transfer application!
