Marymount Manhattan College transfer requirements?

I'm planning to transfer to Marymount Manhattan College and want to make sure I meet all their requirements. Can anyone share details on what is needed to apply as a transfer student there?

Sure! Marymount Manhattan College categorizes you as a transfer student if you've graduated from high school and have since taken college coursework elsewhere. Below, you'll find some specifics regarding their transfer application requirements:

1. Online Application: Marymount Manhattan utilizes the Common Application, and you will have to select 'transfer' during the application process.

2. College Transcripts: You are required to submit official transcripts from all colleges you’ve attended. Even if the credit you earned at one institution appears on another institution’s transcript, you need to submit an original transcript from the institution where the credit was earned.

3. High School Transcripts: A high school transcript is required if you have earned less than 24 college credits.

4. Letter of Recommendation: One academic recommendation is required. This should be from a college professor who can speak to your academic abilities.

5. Essay/Personal Statement: A personal statement with a minimum of 250 words is required, which should speak to why you want to attend MMC. Try to make your statement personal and unique to you, giving the admissions team insight into you as an individual.

6. Course Evaluation: This process occurs after acceptance, during which the Registrar's Office will evaluate each student individually to demonstrate which classes they will accept as transfer credits.

Remember, the application deadlines for transfer applicants are August 1 for Fall and January 1 for Spring admission. Also, the number of transferable credits is so important because it may impact your class standing and the length of time it will take you to graduate.

Lastly, Marymount Manhattan College has a minimum cumulative GPA requirement of 2.5 for transfer students. This could also be a significant factor in their decision, so be sure to check your GPA against this requirement!
