Help on transfering to a CUNY

Transfer Students

<p>Hello community of College Confidential</p>

<p>It's great to be amongst seniors and those who are experienced that can provide assistance.</p>

<p>I am currently attempting 5 classes, 18 credits (Chinese 2, Macro Econ, Accounting, English 101, and Algebra/Trig) and have accumulated 11 credits last semester with a weighted average of 3.44 GPA.</p>

<p>I live in the city and it takes an hour just to come here(SUNY Farmingdale) and walking from the station to campus is great exercise, but laborious, so I have been looking for some city colleges that might provide something of my interests.</p>

<p>I really don't know where I'm headed but I found myself liking accounting and possibly computer science, so when I heard Baruch provided good business classes, I wanted to know if I qualified for transferring.</p>

<p>My highschool grades are not good at all as I skipped a lot and fooled around but now I'm determined to study hard and hope my GPA doesn't fall. I was wondering what the requirements were to get into CUNYs such as Baruch, Hunter, City College, and Queens, without having to submit my SATs and HS GPAs.</p>

<p>Also, should I even attempt to transfer at this point or should I graduate with a LA&S here before transferring? </p>

<p>I'd be happy to provide more information where needed. Thank you</p>

<p>The college websites contain most of the information you need:</p>

<p>[Transfer</a> Students - Undergraduate Admissions - CUNY](<a href=“http://www.cuny.edu/admissions/undergraduate/prepare/transfer.html]Transfer”>http://www.cuny.edu/admissions/undergraduate/prepare/transfer.html)</p>

<p>Also talk to your advisor about transferring as they should have current information and experience.</p>

<p>I go to a CUNY and for you to be considered without your high credentials, you need at least 24 transferrable credits. Hunter is quite competitive so I would suggest you wait till you get the 24 credits and maintain at least 3.0 GPA but Queens is not as competitve compared to Hunter and City of course.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
