Hey everyone! I'm currently attending a community college but thinking about transferring to Brooklyn College next year. I couldn't find much recent information on their transfer acceptance rate. Does anyone here have any experience or insight into transferring to Brooklyn College? If so, please share your experience!
Hey there! Transferring to Brooklyn College can vary in difficulty, depending on your academic and extracurricular profile, as well as the strength of the application you submit. Although the exact transfer acceptance rate varies from year to year, it's generally in the range of 15-20%, which makes it somewhat competitive. Keep in mind that this figure might not be definitive.
While your GPA and the courses you've taken at your community college will play an important role, it's also crucial to have strong letters of recommendation, a well-written personal statement, and demonstrate a clear reason for wanting to transfer to Brooklyn College. As a transfer applicant, your reason for transferring should go beyond simply wanting to attend a four-year college. Try to point out specific aspects of Brooklyn College that appeal to you, such as programs, opportunities, or resources that aren't available at your current community college.
