SEEK Program Transfer to Queens College

I'm interested in transferring to Queens College and joining the SEEK program. Can anyone share insights about the requirements and benefits of transferring as a part of this program?

Hey there,

First, it's important to remember that SEEK (Search for Education, Elevation and Knowledge) is specifically designed to assist students who show academic potential and who qualify as New York State residents, but who might have faced economic and educational barriers to attending college.

Typically, as an incoming transfer student, you would be eligible to apply for the SEEK Program if you were previously enrolled in a similar program (like EOP, HEOP, CD etc) at your prior college. So if you're transferring in from another EOP or SEEK program, you should be eligible.

As for requirements, typically students should have an incoming GPA of at least a 2.0. Though, remember, admission is not purely based on your grades, but rather a holistic approach that takes into account your educational background, financial situation, and overall potential.

In terms of benefits, Queens College's SEEK Program offers a range of support structure that includes the cost of tuition, academic counseling, tutoring services, and varied workshops. Another notable perk of the SEEK program is the summer program: this is a intensive pre-freshman summer program that provides study skill workshops, and introductions to college-level writing and reading.

The SEEK at Queens College also offers personal, career, and academic counseling. This is a great way for you to get familiar with the campus, gain study tips, sharpen your academic skills, clarify your career goals, and address personal concerns in any area that may affect your academic performance.

Overall, the SEEK program truly aims to offer a highly supportive environment. It's a great resource if you are looking for intensive, intimate academic support.

Remember, it's best to reach out directly to the college's admissions office or the specific department for the most accurate information as eligibility and benefits can change over time!

Good luck with your transfer journey!
