2013/2014 Fall Transfer Thread

<p>I have a question. PLEASE HELP!!! If you know! So I attend DBU and my gpa here is a 3.538 and I’m trying to transfer into ut. I took dual credit hours in high school and got all b’s. does that factor into my gpa when they are looking at it? It doesn’t at DBU I would have a 3.29 with those. Please let me know if anyone knows.</p>

<p>Benpstephens i think it is counted in your gpa but im not entirely sure. Call the admissions office and ask what they have your gpa is to make sure</p>

<p>Okay I will thanks for your help!</p>

<p>But I am super worried they wont accept my credits and I’ll be put under the min. :/</p>

<p>I’m getting a little nervous about my transcripts. I sent them in January and my status still says incomplete. I emailed them but no response yet.</p>

<p>College: Lone Star
GPA: 3.79
Credits: 54
First Choice Major: Geology
Second Choice Major: Russian Studies</p>

<p>My essays were, in my opinion, horrible so I hope that doesn’t hurt me too bad lol. </p>

<p>I’m trying my best to be patient but it is SO hard! I want to know if I will get in already.</p>

<p>My application is complete just waiting on a rec letter </p>

<p>1) Current College: Morehouse College (Atlanta, GA)
2) Current GPA: 3.9
3) First Choice Major/College: McCombs School of Business
4) Second Choice Major/College: Undergraduate Studies
5) Transferable Credit Hours: 50 (65 by the end of the spring semester) I don’t know how many will transfer on account that I’m at an out of state private school
6)Extracurricular Activities/Essays:
College: Morehouse Business Association, Student Government
High School: Soccer, NHS, Student Council, Youth Group, NAACP
Essays are good in my opinion
7) Work: Intern for Triple 8 Management (artist management), Waiter (Thai restaurant)</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone else! I hope you all get in.</p>

<p>So, I submitted my app on ApplyTexas on Tuesday along with my essays and paid the application fee, and I still haven’t gotten anything in my email about my Mystatus. Does anyone else have this problem? Should I call? I’m kind of at a loss as to what to do…</p>

<p>So I’m really nervous about transferring too. As of right now I have 21 credits but by the end of my spring semester I should have 38. I’m really scared that 1) they won’t consider my application because my transcript is not complete because i still have to send in my spring 2013 transcript by June 1 2) I’m scared that I won’t get housing to leave on campus</p>

<p>Here are my Stats:

  1. Current College: RLC
  2. Current GPA: 3.76
  3. First Choice Major/College: Natural Science (Biology)
  4. Second Choice Major/College: Liberal Arts (Psychology B.S.)
  5. Transferable Credit Hours: By the end of Spring 2013= 38 credits
    7)Extracurricular Activities/Recommendations/Essays:I got my essay reviewed by the writing center in school and was told that they were both excellent! =)
    In high school I was in Honors band and went to State twice, I was also a Tutor, On the student council, Competed in HOSA and went to State, ran the radio station, Did Youth and Government and was in the MST Magnet Program and Graduated with a Medical Academic Endorsement.</p>

<p>idk how high my chances are of getting in but I have been freaking out since December about this :confused: i’m really glad I found this forum and i’m not the only one that’s stressing out :)</p>

<p>Babble: i would call, idk if it varies but I got my email almost immediately
ifespiffy: if you are completing your min credits in the current semester you are applying they wont automatically deny you though, if they do I was told you can apply for an appeal if your GPA improved.</p>

<p>Hope it helps, good luck guys!</p>

<p>Joverton: are you worried they wont accept your credits since your out of state?</p>

<p>izziedodat: Thank you! It’s so funny I posted that and an hour later I got an email about my mystatus. Weird coincidence but I’m not going to complain.</p>

<p>Yeah!! Thats great! glad I could help</p>

<p>I am currently at Texas Tech and last semester I pulled of a 3.75 GPA with 14 hours. I also had dual credit from high school (12 hours) with a GPA 3.2 for a combined GPA of 3.5. I have 6 hours worth of AP credit, so my MyStatus page says they have enough credits to make a decision. What do you think my chances of getting into UT are? I applied for first choice Pre Public Relations in Communication and 2nd choice Liberal Arts undeclared. I have 3 recommendation letters, and solid essays ( my belief that is). Anyone have any ideas on my chances??? Also what kind of grades do I need to make this semester to make sure that if I do get accepted they do not take it back from bad grades?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>1) Current College: ACC
2) Current GPA: 3.77
3) First Choice Major/College: McCombs
5) Second Choice Major/College: Undergraduate Studies
6) Transferable Credit Hours: 63
7)Extracurricular Activities/Recommendations/</p>

<p>Member of phi theta kappa
Honors student</p>

<p>Recommendation/Essays: Essays are good. Recommendation letters, I got one from my Micro/Macroeconomics teacher and one from my Business Calculus 2 teacher.</p>

<p>Any transfers from out of state? </p>

<p>GPA: 3.88
Major: Advertising (in communication school)
Units completed: 49. 17 in progress
ECS: Board Member of two honor societies, some volunteering, tutoring job</p>

<p>decent recs, average essays.</p>

<p>What do you guys think of my chances?</p>

<p>Im transferring from Eastern Michigan University with currently 16 credits and finishing 31 this semester</p>

<p>izziedodat: That is actualy my main concern. Private out-of-state schools are very tricky. Especially when dealing with core requirements, I feel that UT will give me the run around and make me retake some of my core classes.</p>

<p>Same, but at least you have some leverage of having more than 30 hours. I’m barely making it. I went onto their website to look up some courses though to see if any of them are similar to the ones I’m taking</p>

<p>Hello all, just wondering if you could chance me for transfer to UT Austin for Fall 2013.</p>

<p>Current College: UT Dallas</p>

<p>I am transferring in as a Sophomore</p>

<p>Current GPA: 3.86/ hoping by end of spring semester it will be 3.94.</p>

<p>Credits: 15 (33 by end of this semester) Unsure of how many will transfer. </p>

<p>First Choice College/Major: CONS/Biochemistry</p>

<p>Second Choice College/Major: Undergraduate Studies</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:

  • Member of Alpha Epsilon Theta
  • Work 20ish hours per week for pay</p>

<p>High School: 5.13/5 GPA, unsure of unweighted since school doesn’t keep track but I’m assuming 3.8+.</p>

<p>Essays: Pretty good. Had them checked by multiple people including my academic advisor who is an English major and my university’s writing center.</p>

<p>Recommendations: Excellent recommendation from my rhetoric professor. One of few As in her class.</p>

<p>I heard that if you have a 3.5+ especially for big schools like Natl. Sciences you’re pretty much a shoo-in? Is this somewhat accurate?</p>
