2014 Spring Transfer Thread

<p>Here is an updated version of the UT Austin acceptance statistics spreadsheet from this thread (now with averages and more acceptances!):</p>

<p>Hey sekrim, you can add my major its economics. :)</p>

<p>I’m just wondering if there is a step required for us to accept the admission? Or it will just automatically enroll everybody?</p>

<p>To “accept” your admission decision is by doing all the things that are required on my status.</p>

<p>Ex: The meningitis shot record, changing UT EID password, and updating contact information.</p>

<p>Hey DeeGeeErbear, I just wanted to double check, but I got 14 of my 32 credit hours from AP credit that I claimed. I checked and those credit-by-exam classes transfer, but I wanted to make sure that CBE counts toward the 30 hours minimum for UT transfers.</p>

<p>Nevermind. I called UT admissions and they said I was all good. </p>

<p>By the way, you guys might be interested to know that they only have about 100 applications that do not have their transcripts in until the end of the fall semester, so it seems to be less competitive in that respect.</p>

<p>I’m part of the group that has to send in a final transcript at the end of my semester to verify that I have 30 hours worth of transferable credit. You called and asked how many were part of that group? That’s some reassurance for me.</p>

<p>Thank you, llama123.
Just wanted to make sure that I don’t miss any requirement.</p>

<p>Check [TCCNS</a> - Common Course Matrix](<a href=“http://www.tccns.org/matrix.aspx]TCCNS”>http://www.tccns.org/matrix.aspx)
There are only 2 CS classes that can transfer to UT
COSC 1337 Programming Fundamentals II - C S 305J Introduction to Computing
COSC 2336 Programming Fundamentals III - C S 307 Foundations of Computer Science</p>

<p>I guess that
COSC 1436 - C S 4HRS PROGRAMMING FNDMTLS 1 Transfer A will be transferred as elective
COSC 1437 - C S 405J PROGRAMMING FNDMTLS 2 Transfer A might be a 4 hours class similar to 1337/305J, and 305J is a substitute for CS 312
COSC 2436 might be a 4 hours class similar to 2336/307, and 307 is a substitute for CS 314</p>

<p>You still have to take CS 311, and you can try to sign for SSC 321/ M 362K and SSC 329/ M 340L / M 341 waitlists.</p>

<p>Kingaion, if you get good grades in these Math classes (CS 311 is Discrete Math for CS, a lot of proofs), you will be in. </p>

<p>As for finances.

  1. [Career</a> Events](<a href=“http://cns.utexas.edu/career-design-center/career-events]Career”>http://cns.utexas.edu/career-design-center/career-events) CNS Spring Career Fair is January 30. 99% of employers will look for CS interns. If you already took Data structures you are “ready” for employment. People get paid internships during freshmen year all the time IF they pass technical interview. Usually it’s students with some previous experience who did coding in high school. Some internships have GPA requirements.

<p>Hey does anyone know if orientation is mandatory cause it says it’s not on that link someone posted but I wanted to be sure</p>

<p>Orientation isn’t mandatory, but you get advising and make a ton of friends in your major! I met all of my friends at orientation no joke, and it’s totally worth attending!</p>

<p>Do they help you sign up for classes at orientation or do you do that yourself?</p>

<p>Thanks Mrs. Ya Ya for your information. It’s really valuable to me. I also have a question.</p>

<p>Can you and everybody give me some suggestions about my study plan? I will get associate of science after this semester. Right now, 58 credits in my transcript are transferred. I don’t know about after this semester, but I think they can be transferred because I took these class according to this list: <a href=“http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/tccn/2010-2012/natsci-3.pdf[/url]”>http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/tccn/2010-2012/natsci-3.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I have been in US 3 years. I began to study right after I came. Took 1 year to study English and two years to complete Associate of science. My goals is getting into Turing Scholars Honor Program and get a CS intern as soon as I can. I’m planning to go to Austin and meet advisers next week. Yes, I’m still working on my finance trouble. What should I do?</p>

<p>Ya Ya</p>

<p>Do you think you can show me where you see 305J and 307 are substitutes for their CS 312 and CS 314? If they are, they should have to give me credit for them if I can show them that.</p>

<p>So if I go to Austin, are any of these classes available to me without having to “request” them while in UGS?</p>

<p>305J must be the same as 405J and 307 must be the same as 407 because if I use UT’s own ATE program, and choose from UT Austin to Lone Star College system, when I type in either 307 or 407 they show the COSC classes I took. This is sounding promising so far.</p>

<p>By the way, you guys are life savers I don’t know what I’d do without you all.</p>

<p>[Course</a> schedule | Spring 2014 | Office of the Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.utexas.edu/schedules/142]Course”>Course schedule | Spring 2014 | Office of the Registrar)
Go to 2014 schedule and click on any section number of CS 312 and 314, you’ll see description and prerequisites. You’ ll see what classes/sections are open, restricted, closed, waitlisted etc</p>

<p>C S 312 INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING says
Only one of the following courses may be counted: Computer Science 303E, 305J, 312, 312H.
C S 314 DATA STRUCTURES says
Only one of the following may be counted: Computer Science 307, 314, 314H, 315, 315H.</p>

<p>Since I am not an advisor I wrote “I guess”, so of course you have to ask.
I’ll send you PM about other classes.</p>

<p>bdimes
They discuss your study plan with you and advise you about classes. You register yourself after that.</p>

<p>If you transferred into UT as a bio major, can you change to college of education before the semester starts?</p>

<p>Thank you Ya Ya so what happens is the class you need is wait listed? When would you know if you go in it or not?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>You register for any 12 credit hours classes (minimum to be considered a full time student) that are open for registration. If you don’t have enough required classes, register for electives.</p></li>
<li><p>You sign for waitlists and use option available somewhere on your registration page to drop an elective or other least needed/desired class if you get into waitlisted class. Waitisted classes are not counted as credit hours for registration, that’s why you need “bogus” classes for full time status.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>A bunch of people drop out of classes when they forget to pay before the deadline or don’t have available finances to pay, so people move from waitists into these spots.(it will happen January 3 at 5 pm right before the orientation. </p>

<p>Also, when regular registration is open registrar’s office opens different sections different days. Many people don’t like time slots for their classes, so they register for what is available during their registration time and later sign for waitlists in more convenient classes/ slots/ desired professors. As a result the add-drop period is a huge “swap time” when a lot of slots become available because people get more convenient classes/ sections and drop their less desired registration. I heard stories how people got into class from being # 40 on the waitlist, somebody, I believe, even said # 70. But these are very big introductory level classes. If it’s a small seminar type class with 30 students, and you are # 15 on the waitlist the chances are scarce. Though nobody ever knows. Add-drop period will start January 6.</p>

<p>@YaYa Gotcha! Thanks for your help! So if I didn’t see a certain class theres still a possibility that on the 6th they could open up another?</p>
