I'm looking into transferring to John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Can anyone share insights about the transfer admissions process? Are there any specific requirements or tips I should keep in mind?
Sure! I can provide some general information about transferring to John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
To transfer, you'll need to submit an online application through the CUNY application portal, apart from this, you will also have to send your official college transcript(s). The college recommends having at least a 2.0 GPA to be competitive for transfer admission; keep in mind that some programs may require higher GPAs so it's good to check the prerequisites for your program of interest.
In terms of timing, you should know that the priority deadlines for transfer applications are February 1 for the fall semester and September 15 for the spring semester. However, applications remain open on a space-available basis after these deadlines, so don't let timing discourage you if you miss the priority deadline.
Remember, transferring colleges can be a complex process, so it's critical to stay organized and proactive throughout the process. If you have any questions or uncertainties, for example about how your credits will transfer from your current school, don't hesitate to reach out to Undergraduate Admissions at John Jay to seek clarification. They can help guide you through the specifics of their transfer process. Good luck!
