Transferring to CCNY

<p>I wanted to know if its possible to transfer to CCNY as a fresmen for the spring semester?
I'm going to another CUNY school this fall. As a HS student i did not get in to CCNY. So my concern is that if i do apply as a transfer freshmen for the spring semester, what would the colleges look at? </p>

<p>My HS grades? If its the same would i get denied again?
Sat?/ Act Scores? My scores are pretty low, so should i retake them?
So basically what would i have to do to transfer to CCNY?</p>

<p>i think u need to have 24 credits n it isn’t possible in a semester…the credit u can get in a semester is 12-15…so u have to wait till a year…n have minimum of 2.5 GPA</p>

<p>Dear Mike Steven,</p>

<p>Thank you for your interest in the City College of New York.</p>

<p>Generally, we require students to earn 24 college credits (typically one year of full-time study) before applying for transfer. Once a student has earned 24 credits, then we will no longer consider the high school record in the admission evaluation.</p>

<p>However, depending on your program of interest and how well you do in your first semester, there may be a possibility of transferring sooner. It would be best to contact me via e-mail at <a href=“mailto:cparker@ccny.cuny.edu”>cparker@ccny.cuny.edu</a> so that we can discuss your situation in more detail, and develop a plan for your eventual transfer. </p>

<p>I am a perspective transfer student. My GPA is below a 2.50 (around a 2.27), so I was not accepted. Should I file an appeal? I was informed that CCNY bases admissions predominately on the GPA from the prior school. I have been taking non degree classes at City and my current GPA from those classes is above a 2.5. All in all, should I file an appeal or apply to another more liberal school.</p>
