I'm considering transferring to Marymount Manhattan College and was wondering about their transfer admissions criteria. Specifically, how important is my current GPA, and are there any specific courses I need to have completed before applying?
Marymount Manhattan College (MMC) sets a supportive and encouraging environment for transfer students. They do pay significant attention to your current GPA as a part of the transfer process. The college generally looks for students with a GPA of 2.5 or higher for transfer acceptance. However, it's also important to note that the transfer admission process is holistic, and they consider many different aspects of your application.
Regarding your coursework, Marymount Manhattan College doesn't have a strict guideline for specific courses you should have completed before applying. However, they do like to see that you've taken courses similar to their core curriculum, which includes a blend of liberal arts and specific courses related to your major. Completion of these courses may improve your chances of having more of your credits accepted.
You can discuss with your current institution's academic advisor to ensure your course credits can be transferred properly. In addition, it would be beneficial to reach out to the transfer admission counselor at MMC who can provide more detailed and accurate information about their transfer policies.
Don't forget to also complete all parts of the application process, which may include submitting an application, an official college transcript from each institution attended, and a letter of recommendation.
Lastly, if you're currently enrolled in coursework, you should submit your mid-term grade report for the semester. This allows the college to consider your most recent academic progress in the admission decision.
Best of luck in your application process!
