I'm considering transferring to Hunter College and I'm curious about what specific requirements they have for transfer students. Do they have a specific GPA requirement or mandatory courses I should be aware of?
Hunter College welcomes transfer students, and the specifics of their requirements can depend on several factors. Here are a few general requirements for transfer students:
1. Previous College Record: Your cumulative GPA should be at least 2.5, though this is a minimum and higher GPAs may be more competitive. While there is no specific course requirement, Hunter College does evaluate the types of courses you have taken in determining admission. More competitive applicants typically have a strong academic record with a variety of classes demonstrating a well-rounded education.
2. Coursework: You can transfer up to 90 credits from other institutions. To receive a Hunter degree, at least 30 credits must be completed at Hunter College.
3. Application: Complete the CUNY application for transfer admission and pay the application fee of $70.
4. Transcripts: Submit official transcripts from all colleges you have attended.
5. Have earned at least 24 transferable credits from previously attended colleges.
Remember, these are just the basics. Hunter College will also consider factors such as grade trends, major preparation, and space availability in the major and college. You are highly encouraged to meet with a counselor or advisor, who can help determine your eligibility and guide you through the application process. Always remember to double-check details like application deadlines and specific major requirements!
