<p>@izziedodat, thanks for your reply…hopefully i get in, keeping fingers crossed!!</p>
<p>@jpgarcia6 Yeah, I’m not entirely sure at all. Best to call/email them to make sure. I know rec letters are not required though while the resume is, so that may be the reason. Again, I’m not entirely sure :/</p>
<p>@SandyKeen I hope you get in too! My fingers are crossed for you</p>
<p>Is it easier to transfer from a school within the UT system to UT Austin?</p>
<p>yes UT system courses follow UT’s curriculum more closely so the admissions committee can award you transfer credit easier and know you can handle their courses.</p>
<p>Austin Community College is part of the UT system?</p>
<p>No it is not.</p>
<p>My situations a little complex… i applied transfer for fall 2013 to CNS & UGS, i have a transferrable 3.37 cumulative on 33 hours. However in my first real semester of college i had a 3.75 at my 4 year University.</p>
<p>But my stupid dual credit courses (12hrs 3.0 all history courses) are holding my GPA back. I wrote the special circumstances essay to explain my dual credit course grades i took in high school along with 2 strong essays.</p>
<p>-descent EC</p>
<p>Chances?</p>
<p>I’m in the same situation as you. I took dual credit English and got a B and C. Had it not been for those two classes my GPA would be a 3.8. Unfortunately it doesn’t change anything. They will look at your overall GPA. I’m sure if you have amazing essays/extracurriculars they will take that into consideration when making a decision about you but as fall as your GPA goes there isn’t anything you can do.</p>
<p><em>Sighs</em> do you anybody who’s gotten admitted in our type of situation @jpgarcia6</p>
<p>Well my GPA, even with dual credit courses, is a 3.43 right now and I should be able to bring it up to a 3.56/3.62 (which is a pretty good GPA). So I’m in a slightly better situation than you are. Again I’m sure if you can bring it up to a 3.4ish you should be able to get into UGS depending on the applicant pool and how well your essays/resume are.</p>

<p>I have a question about hrs needed to transfer. As we all know you need at least 30 hrs, but I only have 15 and applied. I just got a statement from UT saying I need to send my transcript after this sem is over because I will have 33 hrs. I was wondering if I could speed this process by talking to my advisor and using some of my IB/AP credit to get some hrs and then send my new transcript or do I have to send my spring transcript?</p>
<p>I can’t imagine you have enough IB/AP credit to make up a 15 hour difference. Does the statement say anything else? (e.g. “We will consider your application once spring transcript is received?”) To my understanding, this doesn’t mean you’re rejected, only that they need formal validation that you meet minimum credit hour requirements before you can be extended an admission offer.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, did that statement come via MyStatus, email, or snail mail?</p>
<p>@jpgarcia6, yes I know, I retook it because that D was just unacceptable. I figured if I got an A this time it’ll level out my D and make it seem as if I had a B when calculating my GPA. In my statement if purpose I explained how I was a horrible student by not putting any effort in high school, and how a skateboarding accident caused me to shift my focus on my academics; completely changing my ethics along with others things. I graduated with a 1.7 GPA in HS -_- lol. But that GPA won’t matter much. It might even help since they see a dramatic improvement. </p>
<p>With the stats from my last post, what do you’ll think my chances are? :0</p>
<p>I’m really bummed out. I applied as a transfer (out of country US citizen) a few weeks before the March 1st application deadline, got my essays in, resume, everything. Then I found out I had to send in a transcript from the MyStatus page, and that it had to be mailed, no less. I went to my college and got them to send it out the week of March 4th, desperately hoping it would get there in time.</p>
<p>Later on that week, I checked MyStatus. I was so nervous, and just logging in and pressing “enter” was like, one of the most suspenseful moments of my life. Curiously, the site was down for about a day and I couldn’t see my status.</p>
<p>A day or two later, I went on again. I was delighted to see the “Congrats, your application is complete and has been received!” message. It was noted that my transcript had been received on-time. I sighed in relief, and told my parents that everything had gone well.</p>
<p>Fast-forward to this weekend. I hadn’t logged into MyStatus for a week, but something was compelling me to go back and login again, even if I knew it was too early for the admission decision to be posted.</p>
<p>So I login. To my dismay, the “application received + completed” message is gone. Instead, I have this heartwarming message staring me in the face: “Your application was not completed by the deadline.”</p>
<p>I felt like dying. Turns out the transcript was received on Monday the 11th, meaning it was late by *one day<a href=“since%20mail%20services%20don’t%20operate%20on%20weekends”>/i</a>.</p>
<p>So, after getting over the initial shock, I’m going to be calling the admissions office tomorrow to ask if I even have a chance of anything. It really ****es me off though, because my entire application is essentially in jeopardy because of having to rely on the postal system to get a stupid piece of paper across the friggin’ continent. Like, why couldn’t I have submitted that online like all of the other documents? Even worse, I couldn’t mail it myself - the office has to do it, and they have no idea how long it will take. I couldn’t even pay them extra for priority shipping or anything like that.</p>
<p>Yes, I know I should have submitted earlier. I know, I know. But still, it bums me out that this one thing that was late by one day is killing my chances of getting into the school of my dreams. It’s absolutely crushing, especially because that initial “congrats” message was a misleading, lying glitch . I can’t believe it.</p>
<p>Anyway, just wanted to tell someone else about this. Maybe someone is in the same boat, I dunno.</p>
<p>@nughtblade, you still have a chance to be considered for admissions. All you have to do is file an appeal, or apply for an appeal. </p>
<p>And can someone please chance me?-.-</p>
<p>You can appeal, but bad news: I’m afraid that’s more than 1 day late… The deadline was March 1st, not March 8th; the 1-wk extension to that original deadline applied only to things submitted through UT doc upload system (resume, LoR or self-reported HS credit worksheet). To be clear, I’m not suggesting you can’t still appeal. I have no clue whatsoever how that process works. I’m sure of only deadline specs. GL!!</p>
<p>Night blade, most likely admissions will require you to fax them a statement explaining the situation and requesting an exception made on your behalf. The same thing happened to me last year when I applied.</p>
