Hi, I’m currently a biology major at ACC and I just want to see what my chances are for getting into UT CNS.
I currently have a 3.6 GPA and by the end of the summer after taking a few more courses, I hopefully will have received my Associates Degree in Biology at ACC. Over this Summer I am trying to shadow doctors, find a job to really build up my resume, and intend on making straight A’s to give my GPA that last boost before my application for Spring Semester is due in October.
My worry is that I’ve seen the transfer statistics and on average, GPA’s for CNS are typically a 3.8. I’ve also heard that you are not really a “priority” if you have surpassed 60 credit hours. I spoke to a UT advisor about this and they said I should be good as long as I can complete my degree at UT with 60 hours on campus, which I can, but I’m worried they’ll just see my application and not consider me because of not staying under. It’s just that I was required to take a few dual credit courses that weren’t on my degree plan for HS and that’s why my credit hours are a bit over. I should have 69-70 by the time I apply.
Any advice, tips, or thoughts would be awesome.
