2013/2014 Fall Transfer Thread

<p>The posts from the past couple of years indicate that they were admitted mostly between the 12th and 30th. We just have to be patient. I know it’s hard. I keep checking anyway. They are also dealing with a record number of freshman applicants so they could be waiting to see how many accept the offer. I hope not, because that may mean less transfers get admitted. I think they may allow set number of transfers in either way. I don’t know really. I know it depends on school as well. Some will find out earlier than others. I think I should stop checking my status for a while. Who am I kidding? I’m still going to check it.</p>

<p>Alright a few updates.</p>

<p>Just got off the phone with admissions.</p>

<ol>
<li>The woman I spoke to knows of NO current delays in the external transfer process. </li>
<li>There was a record of freshman applicants, NOT ADMITTED; thus, there aren’t any expected problems in regard to hearing back.</li>
<li>She said mid april- late april for those with everything done.</li>
</ol>

<p>So things sound just like normal. I think decisions will roll out later day and throughout this week. Keep in mind at this point last year no one had found out. At about 3:40 pm on the 9th DiabloJoe heard back from McCombs and he was the first person to get a real decision back. </p>

<p>So, and this applies to me more than it may to you guys, be patient. </p>

<p>Hope that helped.</p>

<p>God , it’s getting hard to focus on school with all this uncertainty :/</p>

<p>Good to hear. Thanks for the update!</p>

<p>Late April? I just puked a little bit.</p>

<p>the anticipation is killing me =*(</p>

<p>I don’t get why its taking so long lol tech and tamu give out decisions promptly after deadline lol i know its ut but still its just so nerve racking having to constantly wait for this lol</p>

<p>I feel ya’lls pain! I’ve been super stressed and distracted waiting for a decision!</p>

<p>I am an international transfer. I decided to call admissions, they told me I could hear feedback by the end of april as well.</p>

<p>ok i posted this be4 but i see there are more people posting so i wanted the opinion of the other guys/gals.</p>

<p>first off, how does a 3.6 (31 hours) look for COLA./ UGS (avg essays, no locs, so so ecs)</p>

<p>and secondly, </p>

<p>i got accepted to Tech
and tamuk for petroleum/natural gas enginering (with a major scholarship)</p>

<p>i applied to UT as a cola / undeclared because i didnt think id get in the engineerig as an external</p>

<p>should I go for one of the previous or go to UT if I get accepted</p>

<p>Also, if I go to UT I’d have to take an extra year since I can’t tranfer until I complete 24 hours. If I go Tamuk I can start my major courses in the Fall and grad by 2015/2016.</p>

<p>Im kinda stumped about what to do</p>

<p>plus like petroleum engineering isn’t the easiest major to get into internally </p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>My suggestion would be to go to UT if accepted. It is known for its Engineering school. Im not sure how the other school rank up next to UT, but personally I would want to go to a top school because employers will be more impressed with a top school.</p>

<p>“In the U.S News & World Report rankings, the Cockrell School is ranked 10th overall for its undergraduate programs and 11th overall for graduate programs.”</p>

<p>If you know for a fact you can get into the engineering program at UT then I would say go for it but that’s a pretty tough call to make. On the flip side you’re wasting a year…do you have any gen-ed classes that you still need to take? Some classes that would be worth your time taking before the engineering program? It would be a shame to waste that money on classes you don’t need y’know?</p>

<p>I’d definitely say you’re between a rock and a hard place. Sorry :/</p>

<p>No not really I’d be taking irrelevant courses if I went to UT for a year besides the organic chem. I’ll have the cal and physics done by fall ia . Idk it’s just that I’m really set n petroleum and I’d hate to have to major in something else if I can’t get into UTs program. What is y’all’s opinion of Tamu kingsville? In terms of engineering</p>

<p>I was accepted this afternoon into CSE today. Transfer from ACC with 3.93 GPA, and 86 hours.</p>

<p>Whoa really? What’s cse? Congrats btw!</p>

<p>Congrats rowen!!!</p>

<p>congrats Rowen!!!</p>

<p>Congrats Rowen!!! Your wait is finally over!</p>

<p>You’ve been accepted for admission into the Cockrell School of Engineering beginning in Fall 2013.</p>

<p>Thanks all!!!</p>

<p>Congrats Rowen!!!</p>

<p>Lets hope there is more acceptances to come :)</p>
