I was a high school dropout that got my GED(now call TASC) last year. I applied to cuny college and attended the last fall semester. But for some reason, I was given all the wrong courses like a Biology class instead of physics class that I wanted. As the result, I withdraw from all of my classes except for the Remedial writting class. I passed the writting at the end of that semester . Because of the bad experience that I had there, I decided to stop attending that cuny college and submitted an application for transfering to another BMCC. But now, I got rejected by BMCC. I once took the SAT and got 530 for reading and 610 for math long time ago, but I did not send the score to BMCC when I applied.
For the pass year, I have been self studying advanced mathmaticas up to many graduate level stuff. I have read through, a mathmatical physics book by carl bender,and I am currently reading through “Partial Differential Equation” by evans. I have written some math paper also. Will it be of any use if I send these personal project of mine to someone?
I have learned so much on my own and I don’t want to just waste these knowledge. I like math. What should I do?
Ask them why they rejected you - it can’t be academic, it has to be administrative.
You can also apply to another cc. Are instate/in district for NYC CC’s?
It can’t be academic? Do you mean that a CC usually would still accept people with all WU on their transcript and one passed remedial class? I mean I didn’t even send my SAT score to that CC when I applied because someone told me that a CC doesn’t need that. All they saw was my transcript and my GED.
Normally, community colleges are open admission. So you need to make an appointment with the admissions office at the CC you want to attend, and find out what steps you need to take in order to be accepted as a student. You might need to take just one class at a time for a couple of semesters until they can see that you are ready for college work.
If you applied to the CC as a transfer student, that might be the problem. If the one class you completed was a remedial class, you don’t have any transfer credits, and you should have applied as a freshman. Contact someone in admissions, and ask what you need to do to attend, you might simply need to apply as a first-time student.
@MYOS1634, Rejection from a NYS cc can be for academic reasons.
From OP’s post, it doesn’t sound like they met the academic requirements for BMCC. They may not have met satisfactory academic progress for state aid either. You have to complete a certain percentage of attempted courses.
OP, you need to look at other area cc’s. And make sure you read their application requirements. Don’t take people’s word for what documents admissions wants. The CUNY websites are pretty good about spelling out what they want.
Community colleges can and do reject applicants if the applicant has a very recent history of academic issues, as this applicant does. As @ausstinmshauri said, the student doesn’t meet the requirements for BMCC right now.
OP, you do need to look at other community colleges to see if any can admit you as you are right now. I would suggest that you contact admissions directly at every community college that you can commute to, and speak to them about your situation. It may be the case that even if they can’t admit you as a degree seeking student right now, they can let you take some classes there, so you can bring your completion rate up, and then apply for admission.
But what I think you may need to do/be able to do is return to your old college, take classes there, bring up your completion rate, then transfer. If you were only at your old college for one semester, you may still be in good standing there. You may be able to take classes there again. This may be your fastest route to transferring to BMCC or another college in NY.
