<p>How tough would it be to transfer into UT after doing 2 years of core classes at a CC? This is for someone transferring to UT from Texas, if that makes a difference.</p>
<p>What would the person have to do to solidify their chances of getting in?</p>
<p>Whats your GPA? Your GPA is pretty much the biggest factor.</p>
<p>Haha well this is for my girlfriend, she's going into CC this year. Would a 3.5 ish be in good shape?</p>
<p>That would likely be borderline. 3.7 is usually a sure thing for transfers.</p>
<p>The GPA necessary to transfer really depends on which schools she's applying to.</p>
<p>McCombs - 3.8 is the average</p>
<p>Architecture, Engineering and Communications are the next hardest</p>
<p>She should have a good shot at getting into the COLA with a 3.5. I got in with a 3.3?, although I had unusual circumstances for my low GPA.</p>
<p>She wants to go into the petroleum engineering stuff, so what school is that?</p>
<p>Ranger, are you sure 3.7 is a "sure thing"? What if she too has unusual circumstances, like at her household and stuff, does that make a difference, or is it all numbers?</p>

<p>Yes, if you have a 3.7, you are almost always going to be admitted to the University at least to Liberal Arts. For competitive majors, such as Business, Communications, and Engineering, you may need higher.</p>
<p>Lower GPAs can and will be admitted, but a 3.7 will almost certainly guarantee your admission.</p>
<p>Ah, so it's mostly numbers based? Around what GPA would you need to get into engineering? Would transferring into engineering from liberal arts be tough?</p>
<p>At the very end of this link, there are the statistics for transfer admissions.</p>
<p>Faculty</a> Council - The University of Texas at Austin</p>
<p>Now although this link is pretty old, it should give you a general idea as to which schools are the hardest to transfer into. I'd say if you add .1 to .2 to each school, you should have a pretty good estimate as to the average transfer gpa.</p>
<p>For engineering..
Range then: 3.32 - 3.76
Now it'd probably be like: 3.45 - 3.85...and the average accepted transfer gpa would probably be around a 3.65 - 3.7.</p>
<p>Even with two years of core classes, for most engineering majors, you're looking at 3 years of work in the university because there are a lot of engineering-specific credits that you need to fulfill. If you get accepted to the COLA, you'll just be taking GPA-padding classes, which don't really help you toward an engineering degree (assuming that you got the English and history requirements taken care of at CC), so I'd be hesitant to go to COLA, and then lateral into engineering.</p>
<p>It is ALL numbers, UT looks @ GPA only. In very few instances when kids' GPAs are tied they will delve into everything else...like what college you went to, however it serves a minimal effect.</p>
