What are the transfer requirements for Rutgers College?

I'm considering transferring to Rutgers from my current college and wondering about the specific requirements I need to meet. Are there certain credits or GPAs I should be aware of? Any advice from those who've transferred would be awesome!

Rutgers University has several key requirements for transfer students:

1. Credit requirements: You must have completed at least 12 college credits after high school graduation to be considered a transfer student. The maximum number of credits that Rutgers will accept for transfer students is 90 from a four-year college or university, or 60 from a two-year school.

2. GPA requirements: While specific GPA expectations might vary slightly depending on the school or program within Rutgers University you're applying to, a general guideline is that a competitive GPA for transfer students is around 2.5 or above. That said, meeting this doesn't guarantee admission, as Rutgers also evaluates course rigor and the types of courses you've taken, and some programs may also have higher standards.

3. Course requirements: The specific courses you need to have completed in your current college will depend on what program you're applying to at Rutgers. It's recommended to take courses that are close to equivalent to those in the introductory curriculum of the program you're aiming to get into at Rutgers.

4. Application materials: Aside from the Common Application for transfer students, the required materials typically include official college transcripts from all colleges attended, a high school transcript (or equivalent if you've completed a GED), a list of extracurricular activities, and a personal essay. SAT or ACT scores are not required. For international students, English proficiency test scores might be required if you didn't attend an English-speaking high school.

Meeting with your current academic advisor is also advisable as they can guide you through the transfer process. Additionally, make sure to verify the transfer admission requirements on Rutgers' official website or by contacting their admissions office directly, as requirements can vary depending on your specific situation or other factors. Good luck!
