General Transfer Requirements for Hunter College?

Can anyone tell me about the general requirements for transferring to Hunter College? I'm in the process of applying and want to ensure my application stands out. Any help is appreciated!

Sure, happy to provide some guidance on the requirements for transferring to Hunter College.

Firstly, Hunter College operates on a rolling admissions policy for transfer students, meaning they review applications as they're submitted and continue to accept applications until capacity is reached.

The basic requirements for a transfer student generally include a completed application, official transcripts from all previously attended colleges (and high school, if you have less than 24 college credits), and a $70 application fee. Hunter College also recommends, but does not require, a letter of recommendation, especially if the applicant has been out of school for multiple semesters or has overcome significant obstacles.

Academically, the college requires applicants to have at least a 2.7 GPA for consideration, but the average GPA of admitted transfer students is typically around 3.3. Of course, the more competitive your GPA, the better your chances of admission.

Hunter College does not require SAT or ACT scores from transfer students; however, if you have below a 2.7 GPA, having strong standardized test scores could help your case.

In terms of standing out, try to weave a clear narrative throughout your application that communicates not only why you're interested in Hunter College specifically, but also how your past academic experiences have prepared you for the transition. What will you bring to the Hunter College community? What makes your perspective unique? Consider highlighting anything relevant from your previous college experience, including academic performance, extracurricular activities, or leadership roles.

Also, if you're currently taking any classes, it's important to maintain high grades as colleges often request final transcripts or mid-term grades.

Remember to double-check all application requirements and deadlines on the Hunter College website to ensure you submit a complete and accurate application. Best of luck!
