Transfer Applicants

The college experience is a journey, and journeys often take us to destinations we did not originally intend to reach. At Columbia College and Columbia Engineering , we’re intentional in our efforts to welcome over 125 transfer students each year, from a range of two- and four-year institutions, and we value the unique and diverse perspectives they bring to our community.

The deadline to apply as a transfer for Fall 2024 is approaching.

Apply through  Coalition Application on Scoir  by Friday, March 1, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. (applicant's local time).

Transfer Applicants FAQs

May i transfer from columbia college to the engineering school (or vice-versa) once accepted and enrolled.

If you are enrolled at either Columbia College or Engineering and you genuinely feel that you should attend the other, you may apply as an internal transfer student. Internal transfers must submit the Internal Transfer Application by March 1. There is no guarantee that you will be able to transfer to a different school. Undergraduate Admissions consults with the Berick C enter for Student Advising to review your academic performance and curriculum and determine if a change is appropriate.

Are there any scholarships available for transfers?

There are no academic, athletic or talent-based institutional scholarships at Columbia, as all of our institutional financial aid is need-based. However, our students are often the recipients of merit-based scholarships from outside organizations (state grants/scholarships, local/national merit-based awards, etc.).

May I transfer for the spring semester?

No. We do not accept applications for January/spring enrollment from transfer candidates.

Application-Related Information

Application requirements.

A completed transfer application includes the following items. Please be sure to read the additional details about each component in the folders below. 

• The Coalition Application  powered by Scoir
• Columbia Supplement to the Coalition Application
• $85 application fee or fee waiver request
• An official high school transcript from all high schools attended
• An official college transcript from all colleges attended
• The Coalition Application Transfer Report
• The Coalition Application Curriculum Report
• Two College Academic Recommendations
• Optional: Standardized tests

The Coalition Application

Transfer applicants must use the Coalition Application  powered by Scoir to apply for admission to Columbia. (The Common Application is for first-year applicants only.) The Application Profile has multiple sections, but not all are required.

The following Application Profile sections are required for a complete transfer application to Columbia: 

• Personal Information
• Contact Information
• Demographic Information
• Citizenship
• Family Information
• High School Information
• College Information
• Additional Information
• In-Progress College Coursework
• Completed College Coursework
• Additional Exams
• English Proficiency Tests
• Honors & Distinctions
• In the Activities/Experience section, please include details about activities from both high school and college. Be sure to include all clubs, organizations, research positions, jobs, internships and/or volunteer activities that you participated in beyond the classroom. 

We encourage transfer applicants to list all college coursework on their application, including current coursework, but discourage students from listing high school coursework.

The following Application Profile sections are not required for a complete transfer application to Columbia: 

• 9th-11th Grade Coursework
• 12th Grade Coursework
• Coalition Essay

Please note : While the Coalition Essay in the Application Profile is not required for a complete transfer application, applicants will be asked to upload a 400-600 word essay on the Columbia Supplement to the Coalition Application responding to the following prompt in the Uploads section of the application: 

• Please explain why you are interested in transferring from your current institution. (The personal essay does not need to be specific to Columbia, but it should inform the committee why you wish to leave your current institution.)

Columbia-Specific Application Questions

Applicants are asked to respond to Columbia-specific questions to tell the Admissions Committee more about their academic, extracurricular and intellectual interests. These questions allow us to better understand your intellectual curiosity, habits of mind, love of learning and sense of self. These questions also allow the Admissions Committee to learn more about you in your current community and why you feel Columbia’s distinctive experiences in and out of the classroom would be a good fit for your undergraduate education.

Transcripts

Please submit transcripts from all high schools and colleges attended. Electronic transcripts are preferred for fastest processing . Please note that we receive many documents daily and that transcripts may take several days to process. 

We cannot accept transcripts submitted by applicants as official unless they are mailed in a signed, sealed envelope; electronic transcripts are official if they are sent directly from an institution and/or from a school official.

School Forms

The Transfer Report , which collects information about your standing at your current institution, should be completed by a school official such as an adviser, dean or registrar at your current institution. This form may accompany your official college transcript. Transfer Reports should be sent electronically to [email protected] if they cannot accompany your official transcript.

The Coalition Application Curriculum Report collects information about courses in which you are currently enrolled. Mid-term grades are often not available by March 1; we will accept this form until April 15 but strongly recommend that it be submitted as soon as mid-term grades are available. 

Curriculum Reports should be submitted electronically to [email protected] , or uploaded directly through your applicant portal. Please do not submit the curriculum report until mid-term grades are available. A curriculum report with grades listed as "in progress" or with no grades listed will not meet this requirement. 

The curriculum report is not required for students who are not currently enrolled in a college or attending a school that operates on the quarter system.

2 College Academic Recommendations

• These recommendations must come from college professors who have taught you in a college course. Recommendation letters should not come from high school teachers, employers, research supervisors or family members.
• An optional third recommendation may be accepted from an advising dean or academic adviser.

Standardized Tests

Columbia is test-optional for transfer applicants to Columbia College or Columbia Engineering. Please review our standardized testing policy for additional details, as well as our English language proficiency requirement if applicable. Transfer applicants who choose to submit test-scores may self-report their results and may submit scores up through March testing dates.

Eligibility 

To be eligible for enrollment as a transfer student at Columbia, you must have earned: 

• 24 points of credit (the equivalent of one year of full-time study) at another institution, or be registered to complete 24 points of credit by the time you enroll.
• If you left high school without receiving a diploma in order to attend an early college program, you are not eligible for transfer admission and must apply as a first-year student by the appropriate Early Decision or Regular Decision deadline. You will not be eligible to receive credit for such accelerated programs except for credit earned through standardized examinations (e.g., AP and IB exams); such credit will be limited to 16 points, the equivalent of one full semester at Columbia.

If you’re an International student, you should read our International Transfer Students section for additional eligibility requirements. 

Candidates who have completed  more than four semesters of college coursework elsewhere are not encouraged to apply. Columbia’s academic requirements and institutional policies make completion of all graduation requirements in a reasonable and timely fashion unlikely.

Columbia College transfer applicants who have taken a break in their education of more than a full year (for any reason other than required completion of national military service), or who wish to attend school part time, should consider applying instead to Columbia University’s School of General Studies.  

Columbia Engineering transfer applicants should proceed with this transfer application, regardless of any break in schooling. 

Please note that all transfer admittance is for fall semester only.  

Supplementary Materials

Supplementary materials are not a required part of our admissions process—but there are occasions where they can enhance our understanding of your application. (In other words, it’s completely up to you if you’d like to include these materials.)

Transfer Credit

You must have completed or be registered for 24 points of credit (the equivalent of one year of full-time study) at another institution. No more than 64 points in Columbia College or 68 points in Columbia Engineering will be awarded as transfer credit, including points earned through AP or IB examinations. We do not grant credit for college courses taken before a student's graduation from high school. Credit for standardized exams (e.g., AP, IB, A level exams) will be limited to 16 points, which is equivalent to one full semester at Columbia. For more detailed information, students should refer to the Academic Credit for Transfer Students section of the Berick Center for Student Advising website.

Please note that transfer credit evaluation occurs only at the time of acceptance. We cannot review transcripts and/or courses for transfer before a candidate submits an application.

Columbia does not award transfer credit for courses that are not analogous to those available at Columbia College or Columbia Engineering. We encourage you to review our College Bulletin and Engineering Bulletin to become familiar with the types of courses that are offered here and therefore the courses that are more likely to be awarded credit.

The Core is the cornerstone of undergraduate academic life at Columbia. Even those transferring in with advanced credit should expect to take elements of the Core, if not all of it. Students are very rarely exempt from Core classes like Literature Humanities , Contemporary Civilization , Art Humanities and Music Humanities .

Students are expected to graduate within eight semesters, including time spent at another college or university. Students are typically not permitted to extend their undergraduate studies unless they are enrolled in one of our Joint Degree programs (e.g. the Combined Plan ).

Dates & Deadlines

• March 1: Application deadline for transfer candidates
• March 1: Financial aid application deadline
• By June 1: Admissions and financial aid decisions released online 
• Mid June: Deposit deadline for admitted transfer students
• Late June: Deadline for final transcripts for admitted students.

What We Look For in Transfer Students

Admission to Columbia is not based on a simple formula of grades and test scores. Instead, we consider a variety of factors . Each year, we admit a small group of transfer students to Columbia College and Columbia Engineering. Because space in the sophomore and junior classes is limited, admission is highly competitive. We typically admit fewer than 10 percent of the applicants for transfer admission each year. Potential transfers are expected to have a minimum GPA of 3.5 overall; Columbia Engineering candidates are strongly encouraged to have a minimum GPA of 3.5 in their mathematics and science courses.

The majority of successful applicants to Columbia Engineering have completed an engineering track curriculum. For applicants with first-year standing at time of application this includes:

• Two semesters of Calculus
• Two semesters of Physics
• One semester of Chemistry

Enrolling transfer students will need to complete Core Curriculum requirements in addition to graduation requirements within their primary field of study. Our review takes into account a candidate's ability to complete their course of study in a standard timeline of eight total semesters. To allow more flexibility with course selection at Columbia, we recommend applying with first-year standing at your current institution when possible. 

Due to the timing of the transfer process, we are generally unable to consider grades earned in the second semester of the year of application; thus, high school grades, rigor of program and standardized test scores are all important in the evaluation of transfer credentials, especially for students applying for sophomore standing. If you have applied to Columbia previously, the documents you provided at that time will not roll over (with the exception of SAT or ACT scores); you must resubmit any information requested by this transfer application.

Financial Aid

At Columbia, we are committed to fully supporting our transfer community. All transfer applicants who are citizens, permanent residents or other eligible non-citizens are evaluated without regard to their financial need. Foreign students applying for aid must understand that such aid is awarded on an extremely limited basis. Columbia meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for admitted transfer students and does not give any scholarships for academic, athletic or artistic merit.

Please visit the Financial Aid website for more information on financial aid for transfer students, including all required forms.

Accuracy & Authenticity

All applicants should review our Accuracy & Authenticity statement prior to submitting their application, as all applicants to Columbia University must confirm on their application that they understand and agree to adhere to the above expectations.

Class of 2028 Draws Record Number of Applicants

Nearly 20% qualify to attend Dartmouth without a parental financial contribution.   

Class of 2027 Selected From Record Application Pool

Having completed its review of a record 31,657 applications for the undergraduate Class of 2028, Dartmouth extended offers of admission to 1,685 students, many of whom will benefit from expanded financial aid.

The overall admission rate of 5.3%, a record low, is nearly a percentage point below the 6.2% rate of selectivity for the Class of 2027. Applications to Dartmouth rose by 10% from last year.

Students who applied for admission in this year’s regular decision round received their decisions through the Admissions Office’s digital portal on Thursday evening.

Those offered admission will be in the first incoming class eligible for a new middle-income affordability initiative— announced on Monday by President Sian Leah Beilock —that will enable Dartmouth to nearly double its current annual income threshold for a “zero parent contribution,” from $65,000 to $125,000 for families of AB undergraduates with typical assets. That threshold is the most generous of any college or university in the nation. 

Coupled with the existing low-income threshold for a parent contribution of zero, which had been adopted last year, an estimated 19.3% of those offered admission for the Class of 2028 qualify to attend Dartmouth without financial assistance from their parents. Additionally, nearly 1-in-2 accepted applicants will qualify for a need-based scholarship. 

At the time of decision release, the average aid award is $69,152, an all-time high. The full cost of tuition, housing, meals, and fees for a Dartmouth undergraduate education in the 2024-25 academic year is $87,768, and this year’s average scholarship covers 79% of that cost. 

Lee Coffin , vice president and dean of admissions and financial aid, says that he and his admissions colleagues were struck by the “remarkable depth of quality” in the record pool of this year’s applicants. “The pool was bigger, and it was also holistically deeper,” he says.

“Accepted students demonstrate a striking degree of alignment with our institutional strengths and priorities,” he says. “They express strong interests in sustainability, in dialogue and, more broadly, in using their intellect to make a difference. It comes through loudly and clearly.”

“When we asked them, ‘Why Dartmouth?’ ” he adds, “many cited specific faculty, as well as their courses and research. There was a strong and palpable pull toward our community, with students from around the world telling us they were drawn to Hanover not just for its natural beauty but its profound sense of place and purpose.”

What else do we know about those offered spots in the incoming first-year class?

They live in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, as well as 68 other nations. Continuing a recent trend, 55% live in the Southern or Western regions of the United States or outside the U.S.

California once again leads all U.S. states, with 12% of all acceptances. The United Kingdom, Canada, India, South Korea, and Turkey comprise the five largest international cohorts in the accepted class.

When ranked, 95% are in the top 10% percent of their high school graduating class, and more than a quarter are projected to graduate as their valedictorian or salutatorian.

Also of note: 17% are in the first generation in their families to attend a college or university; 57% attend a public high school; and 15% live in a rural environment, a record figure that follows the rollout this year of a recruitment initiative targeting students from rural communities. 

But, Coffin notes, those figures only hint at the lives and sensibilities, to say nothing of the sense of self, of those invited to enroll at Dartmouth this fall. The Class of 2028 is the first admitted to Dartmouth since the U.S. Supreme Court imposed limits on the consideration of race as a factor in college and university admissions. As a result, Coffin and his colleagues are prohibited at this stage of the process from identifying and tallying the accepted applicants by racial or ethnic background.

The Court did permit institutions to continue the practice of holistic admissions , in which students’ personal narratives—including their reflections on their accomplishments and experiences within the classroom and far beyond it, as well as their values and priorities—are taken into account.

“They’re smart and curious, and they’re kind,” Coffin says of this year’s admitted applicants. “They’re collaborative and creative.”

“We look for students who can animate a small class in Dartmouth Hall with dialogue, and who can help people think about lessons and issues in new and nuanced ways,” he adds. “And, ultimately, we look for students who can enhance and contribute to the community we are building here in Hanover.”

Hello everyone. I plan to travel to Russia as a tourist near the end of November, and I'm wondering if there is an application deadline for a tourist visa - other than how long it takes to process of course. I was looking on one of the visa websites and it noted that you could apply for a tourist visa up to 90 days prior to your arrival in Russia. Does anyone know if this is in fact a real deadline? I didn't see any of this on the Russian Embassy site, and the visa services offer rush charges, which I find confusing if there is a 90 day deadline. Is there a 90-day deadline or does this refer to something else? Thanks!

I'm not really sure I understand why you keep talking about a 90 day deadline. The 90 days refers to the earliest point when you can make an application not the latest date you can apply and in the US different consulates have different rules.

It should though, take no longer than 15 days for a visa to be issued. Rather than looking at all these different sites who often have information that's out of date, you be better off going to the official site in the US.

http://www.ils-usa.com/

To be safe, simply see the ILS site's "additional rules", which clearly states:

Visa application form can be submitted to the ILS not earlier than 45 business days prior your trip to the Russian Federation

I would be very leery of any other web site other than ILS stating anything else- all of us have found some quite outdated and frankly BAD info. on some of these sites, including one still telling visitors to "print out an off-line copy" of the app and fill in, which is now now longer allowable in US...

While in past days, indeed there was more variation between consulates, the safe bet would be to plan for being able to apply as above...

Then, typically, visas are supposed to be done within 8 days, but best to allow as stated 15...never hurts to be conservative...

Thanks for the guidance. This is what I thought but wanted to make sure and what better place to go for the right information!

One other thing...as of September 9th, some new visa rules went into effect which provide for a visa good for 3 years, multiple entry, and stays of up to 6 months for each entry...

VERY convenient for those who might want to go back (we hope you will!), BUT it appears despite much hyped "simplification", the whole visa support hassle seems to still be in place for tourists, and from some posts, this "new" visa also costs $40 more...to me, questionable unless you need one of the "bennies" above.

I believe they will still do the more restrictive "30 day" visas for the same, lower fee (consular fees of $140, but a bunch of other stuff makes this closer to $200 if not over...

Yes 45 days. If I remember right, I thought I read that now (after Sept 9) that all decisions on visa applications must be made within or by 15 days? I guess that's one of the new rules? If I'm wrong please let me know. AIM.

Lets be 100% clear here Ils states applications cannot be submitted 45 BUSINESS days before you plan to enter Russia, this equates to 9 weeks beforehand should be plenty of time for most.

Visa processing within 15 calendar days is applicable for 3 year visas (all types). For tourist visas (up to 36 months) tourist vouchers from authorized tour operators are still required, plus the Consulate may also request additional supportive documents and even a personal presence for an interview (if you use a visa agency). You can view all their requirements on Russian Embassy web-site http://www.russianembassy.org/Embassy_eng/Embassy/index.html. If you intend to visit Russia just once without any solid plans for other visits, it maybe easier for you to apply for a standard 30 days tourist visa. The processing time for this visa type is 9 business days.

Just so the last post does not entirely have the average tourist give up (i.e. "plus the Consulate may also request additional supportive documents and even a personal presence for an interview"), unless I am mistaken, this has always been true...or at least the part about the interview.

Unless the 3 year visa adds so much tha this becomes more common, I am quite sure the averae tourist can rely on what has NOT been reported anywhere here at TA that I can recall over, well, at least the last 3 years at least...i.e. zero cases of this happening.

I believe this point is in fact simply a common statement ANY consulate would make with regard to visa issuance...well, any one that has any kind of rules...

By no means I tried to discourage anyone from applying for a Russian visa, I am sorry if my comment sounded this way. Yes, I agree with Ebertsj that these rules are listed on pretty much every consular site, and yes normally a heavy majority of applicants get their visas. And those who don't usually know why they got rejected. But as with every new service the Consulate may take longer to process this visa and chances of Consulate requesting additional documents are more likely. The point I was trying to make is that if a tourist does not plan to visit Russia many times, it will be easier, faster and cheaper for him to get a simple old fashioned 30 day tourist visa.

Murmansk, thanks...sorry for being so "picky"... Sadly, after all the hype re: simplification, have to say I rapidly,came to the same conclusion...that is, as you state, for simpler, average tourist trip, likely better to still opt for the "old" style visa...

I did read, however, that likely they will phase this option out after figuring out some of the nuances of the newer, 3 year visas...as in, fees of course will also likely "automagically" stay at the higher $180 rate (vs. current $140 for the old visa...

Really, to me what is sadly missing is true simplification, doing away with the formalities of the whole voucher, confirmation thing...but I guess til they get more hotel rooms for floods of tourists, I guess they feel OK "discouraging" tourism...sigh!
