2016/2017 UT Austin Transfer Thread

Thank you man!

@CapPlease I got in to adv with 30 hours and a 3.7. Assuming your essays are decent, I’d think you’re in the clear!

is a 3.53 gpa good enough for Biology major (CNS) with 80 credits hours?

@cs1826 No problem! I’ve been scouring these message boards trying to find anyone else in the same boat as me so it was nice to see your post, too!

I have my AA so I’d be transferring from an OOS CC.

Is a 3.824 GPA good enough for COLA in general with good essays and internships, etc.?

Hey @wickedwarrior777, I seriously have no idea about COLA. But I’ve read your stats and I think you’re a good candidate in general for UT. I don’t know how competitive COLA is though. If you have the required prerequisites and classes, with your GPA, I think you have a good shot! This is just my opinion from looking at others’ stats and GPA for COLA.
Do you have any other universities planned as a back-up?

Guys I have a 3.65 GPA (I am a first year student w/ ~50 quarter units completed). I did an internship at a high-tech company in the Silicon Valley. I am currently a student in California. I applied to UT Austin for Computer Science. Can you guys tell me what my chances are?

Also, how important is the essay and ecs? i heard UT looks at GPA only for transfer.

well i just finished finals and ended up with a 3.7 gpa applied for history.
Should I be good to go?

@colboycsat

I’m pretty sure 3.7 is good enough for history. Last year, the average GPA was 3.62 for accepted students so anything above that should be fine.

Do you mind chancing me? I have a 3.824 and I am applying to COLA also.

I emailed admissions about decisions and they responded with: "Yes, you should be receiving your decision very soon. Decisions are indeed being released as we speak, so please check your Status page at least once a day. "

At least once a day, more like 5 times an hour, amiright

I’m a Freshman at UTSA and just sent my official transcript to UT Austin today. I’m going to transfer to COLA.
I have a 3.93 GPA. Hope to receive a decision soon!!

@roer345 That GPA is very low for CS. While UT does of course take your resume and essays into consideration, GPA will always trump both of those. I can’t say for certain, but its unlikely.

fck my life. I now have a 3.30 GPA. fck utd guys. I’m applying to COLA Economics. Not sure how I feel now. My gf goes to UT, she’ll be devastated if I don’t get in.

Are they gonna release decisions soon? I’m so concerned. My GPA is a 3.737 and am applying for mathematics under CNS

I feel like yalls decisions should come out this week for sure. It’s already mid May. Best of luck to you all!!

thank you! @wickedwarrior777

Okay, something odd has happened to my mystatus page. I was going through the checklist and noticed that my transcripts weren’t showing up.

@Mudflaps I think you should call them, I see all my items under “Done”
