Admission
Application required
There are three entry points into the Honors Program:
Entering Freshmen. Admission is based upon the student’s high school average, their application essay and other materials, and an interview.
Continuing and Transfer Students. Admission is based upon the student’s college GPA, their application essay, and an interview. John Jay students who have completed 2-4 semesters of college and have a minimum of four semesters remaining at John Jay may apply to join the program as sophomores (at least six semesters remaining) or juniors (at least four semesters remaining). To be eligible, students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher, and no more that 75 credits completed at the time of entry into the program.
