I'm currently a sophomore in community college and interested in transferring to CCNY. Does anyone know what GPA is required for a successful transfer? Any other academic requirements I should be aware of?
To transfer to The City College of New York (CCNY), it's recommended that students have a minimum GPA of 2.5. However, some programs may desire higher GPAs. For example, for the Grove School of Engineering, the GPA minimum requirement is 3.3.
In terms of academic requirements, priority for transfer admission is given to students who have completed at least 24 credits at a previous institution. CCNY also prefers students who have completed coursework in English Composition and College-level Mathematics that meet the CUNY Pathways requirements.
Other important aspects include a personal statement and your previous college transcript. The personal statement is a part of the application where you can share more about your reasons for transferring and your educational goals.
Make sure to verify the requirements and deadlines from the official CCNY or CUNY website or admissions office, as they can change from year to year. Best of luck with your transfer application!
