Can someone shed light on the specific requirements for transferring to Morehouse College? I want to make sure I'm meeting all the necessary criteria before applying. Any tips or advice would be awesome!
You're on the right track by researching and double-checking all the requirements. Here is a list of basic admission requirements for transfer students to Morehouse College:
1. Completion of at least 26 semester hours of transferable college credit: Morehouse College requires all transfer students to have at least a full year of college-level work under their belt.
2. College Transcripts: Ensure that you submit official transcripts from each college that you have attended.
3. High School Transcripts: Morehouse requires official high school transcripts from transfer students.
4. Academic Recommendation: Morehouse requires one academic letter of recommendation, which should preferably come from a professor who has taught you at the college level. They should be able to provide an evaluation of your academic work.
5. Personal Essay: While the Common Application offers several prompts, it's a good idea to choose one that will provide the admissions committee with insight into who you are beyond your academic qualifications.
6. Application Fee: Morehouse requires an application fee. However, fee waivers are available for eligible students.
Ensure that you meet all the above requirements before you apply. It's also recommended you take a look at the course equivalencies between your current institution and Morehouse, as this could affect how your credits will transfer. It might also be beneficial for you to get in touch with a counselor or the admissions department of Morehouse College to discuss your intentions. They can provide more targeted advice for your circumstances.
On top of meeting the admission requirements, it would also be wise to reflect on why you’re interested in transferring to Morehouse.
