3.8 to get into GOOD major

<p>so you pretty much need a 3.8 to get into Mccombs or any other non guaranteed major?
do you think if i had a 3.8 at sephen f austin or u of H, texas tech that i could get into Mccombs as a transfer?(with all required courses completed)</p>

<p>UT doesn’t look at where you transfer from. So yes you would have a really good chance at McCombs with a 3.8.</p>

<p>if you look at their transfer section it says you need a min. 3.6 GPA to transfer into McCombs. So if you have a 3.6 or higher I dont think they can turn you down if you have everything completed, 3.8 is just the student average that transferred into McCombs last year.</p>

<p>o ok i think it may be easier for me to get a 3.8 at SFA since it is a smaller school, and do business majors generally take Cal 1&2 and Micro/Macro their first year? or that just a requirement for Mccombs?</p>

<p>Kissarmy is talking about internal transfer(if you’re already at UT). You are considered as external transfer so your criteria for admission is different. Average GPA last year for external transfer was a 3.92.</p>

<p>yea i know thats why i said a 3.8</p>

You would need at the very least a 3.8, but much closer to a 4.0, to be accepted into McCombs from the universities you listed. </p>

<p>There is a reason UT offers CAP to students who are not readily admitted. If you truly want to graduate from Texas with a business degree, CAP and transfer in since that is the recommended path that UT strongly suggests, and has proven successful for the majority of students.</p>

<p>As an aside, have you considered these other universities you mention as viable alternatives to obtaining your degree? You can get hired from most any university in Accounting and Finance if you apply yourself and get good grades. It might be a good idea to determine how badly you want a degree from UT. Is it the prestige factor to brag about at cocktail parties after you graduate, or does graduating from Texas really mean something to you? At the very least, your underlying reasoning should be something you strongly consider.</p>

<p>yea but theirs really no point in doing CAP, since i will be up against Transfer Applicants, did i mention i still have to do the essays, so i pretty much have the same shot being CAP as someone transferring form another school ; thats why im not doing CAP, and im not sure if i want to graduate from UT after-all i may end up really like the school i go to this fall.</p>
