I'm thinking about transferring to Hunter College, and I'm curious about the average GPA needed for transfer students. Does anyone have an idea of what range should I be aiming for?
Hunter College, part of the City University of New York system, is generally considered transfer-friendly, with nearly half of its students being transfers. While Hunter College doesn't officially publish the average GPA for those students, it's generally recommended to have at least a 2.5 GPA minimum for consideration. However, a higher GPA will increase your chances of admission — you may want to aim for around a 3.0 to 3.5 for the most competitive edge.
Keep in mind that GPA isn't the only factor considered. The admissions office will also look at your course rigor, personal statement, and potentially other aspects of your background. You should try to ensure the rest of your application is solid as well.
As always, it's a good idea to reach out to the admissions office at Hunter College directly with any specific questions about your transfer application. Good luck!
