Looks like the odds aren’t too bad for me with a 3.88 OOS for COLA.

I just hope the fact that for some reason I can’t discern I somehow selected pre-nursing on the pre-professional section of ApplyTexas, despite not applying to the school of nursing, affects my admission decision.

366

What year are those data for? Also are those for fall or spring transfer?

367

@utcswannabe

368

Fall of 2016, so last year @wickedwarrior777

369

@utcswannabe

Thank you so much for posting this man. You have given me 100% confidence that I will get into the Business school.

370

Mind if I ask what your GPA was. I’m at UTD right now hoping to got to McCombs as well.

371

What do you think my chances of getting in are? I have an Associates Degree from my local community college (out of state applicant) in Liberal Arts with a specialization in communication studies. When I graduated my GPA was 3.56 and I am a member of PTK (Phi Theta Kappa) and NSCS (National Society of Collegiate Scholars). I applied to the Moody school of communication as a Public Relations.

372

@utcswannabe So will dual credit I took in high school be factored into my college gpa?

Thanks for any response!

373

@Dashquark69 I think so, was it taken at a community college? Did you have to send the transcript in to UT?

374

@Dashquark69 I called admissions on this topic. I am a CAP student so it is a little different for me. What they will do is look at my 30 hour credit GPA from UTA and look at the dual credit GPA from high school separately. It won’t mesh together. This is in my case as a CAP student, so take that how you will. May just be the same for you regular externals.

375

All externals should take a look at the discussion page made for the 2016 Fall transfers. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-texas-austin/1794646-spring-fall-2016-transfer-thread-p261.html
It provides the same information @utcswannabe presented, but it’s in a colored text to show who got in and who did not. Also, it provides a little more insight into the whole transfer process as it is just the same discussion as ours, but just from the 2016 Fall transfers who made it through.

376

@CapPlease I linked to that post earlier this year in this thread, but people seem to hate clicking on links so I saved everyone a click :). Plus I gave credit to NEWSIE2015 for the information.

377

Pro Tip:
Just find the date of decision in the information provided, go to the UT 2016 transfer thread and control F the user on the day they received their decision (look for the date on the messages in the page). Then click on the users profile and view their “replies tab” and you can track down there “chance me” and get a good look at the stats that got people in. That’s what I base my estimates on when I reply to people’s chance me’s.

378

Anyone else having problems getting the housing application to open? Every time I click on it it tells me my session has either timed out or that I am not currently logged in and sends me back to the MyStatus login page again.

379

Hey y’all! I know UT is a long shot for me, but I’m keeping everything crossed that my essays and LOR is what tips the scales in my favor

School: McCombs, planning to major in accounting
cummulative GPA: 3.71 (4.00 for the pre-reqs for business) I’ve attended Univ of Phoenix, UC Irvine, and Austin CC
Credits: 120 (I already have an AA in Business)
3 essays, 1 of them to explain my excessive credits
1 really excellent LOR from a VP of finance whom I worked directly under for about a year as a data analyst
volunteer work: I’ve worked as a VITA for United Way, I was on the PTA board at my kids’ school, participated in Day of Caring, helped out at an event for Autism awareness…
job experience: currently working as a tax preparer, was a data analyst when i lived in Cali a year ago. (I’ve moved back and forth from austin and cali a couple times the past 10 yrs)

I know my GPA is low, but I’m really hoping that everything else makes up for it. I was a teen mom of 2 kids both who are now teens themselves, I’m now 31 trying to finish my Bachelor’s, I’m hoping to get into the iMPA program, too. I’ve already been accepted to TX State and Concordia (with a scholarship which evens out the costs to the same as UT), but I would love to get into the #1 accounting school.

380

Can somebody chance me?
Applying for COLA (History)
30 hours
3.90 GPA
5 Rec letters (all from professors)
Decent essays (Not my strong point, but working on it)
Also I have worked full time during my freshman year assisting a disabled man who takes classes at UT, so I am on campus weekly with him.
