2016/2017 UT Austin Transfer Thread

@UTChemTransfer man I hope you’re right about the low GPAs having a shot at COLA. It might also explain why they haven’t given me a flat denial let…

Admitted to COLA English! :slight_smile: 4.0 GPA, ACC student, 32 credit hours. Congrats to everyone else!! I hope to see you all at UT this Fall !

Let me know if you need anymore help! I have had some help here and there and I am willing to pay it forward.

Quick side-note question to those that have been accepted (I’m not sure if it’s been asked): When they give your admissions decision, do they also give your financial aid information, or some kind of timeline of when you will find out?

Got the McCombs internal transfer with a 4.0.

Anymore COLA decisions?? Whhhhoooooooowoooowowowow still in review

I have been in review since February, the wait is killing me!!

@hookemags DUDEEEEE I SEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU WELCOME TO UT!

pray for me as I receive my acceptance to mccombs

Are they really going to leave this many people hanging tonight? Or is there still a chance there’ll be decisions later?

I don’t understand how they’d be able to release decisions after their admissions office is closed. Is there like an automated system?

I really hope they are working late tonight… But I guess being “in review” for a long time is better than being denied… :confused:

Has anyone from COLA gotten denied yet?

@newyorkgs I crawled last year’s transfer thread and people were still finding out at 9pm on the 15th
