Experience with Kingsborough Community College Admissions?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has gone through the admissions process with Kingsborough Community College. I'm thinking of applying there, partly due to its location in New York. Any insights on their selectivity or what the admissions officers look for in applications would be much appreciated!

Kingsborough Community College, like many community colleges, has a very inclusive admissions policy. They follow an open admissions policy, which means that as long as you have a high school diploma or its equivalent (like a GED), you are eligible for admission. However, they will also assess your readiness for college-level work through placement testing in Math, Reading, and Writing.

To apply, you have to fill out an online application and pay a modest application fee. Then, you will have to submit an Official Transcript or GED (with a minimum score of 2250). After you apply, you'll receive information about placement testing, which helps the college decide what level classes are appropriate for you to start with.

Bear in mind that the depth and breadth of the program offerings at community colleges can be narrower than those offered at four-year colleges. Do ensure the program or field of study you're interested in is offered at Kingsborough.

Finally, community colleges are known for having a diverse range of enrolled students, from high school graduates to adults looking to change careers or learn a new skill. The flexibility in class schedules—night and weekend classes—can be very helpful for students with full-time jobs and other commitments.

If you have specific programs or fields of study you're interested in at Kingsborough, it would be helpful to reach out to the admissions office or the departments directly to learn more about what they are looking for and what your experience in an area of interest might be like.

Hope this provides you with some clarity regarding Kingsborough Community College's admission process. The best approach is to apply, prepare for your placement tests, and make sure the college offers programs that align with your academic and career goals. Good luck!
