<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was wondering what was the lowest GPA that people have transferred with to UT and which college? Whether it was you or someone you know of. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>idk if you can get in wit a low GPA because the CAP thing requires like a 3.2 so i would think you need something slightly better than that, and really high if its for business or something</p>
<p>I’m not certain, but I’m pretty sure if you have strong essays, you can get in liberal arts with a 3.5, in business you need north of 3.8 to have a good chance.</p>
<p>okay i posted this before but got no responses… </p>
<p>my gpa is in the low 3s… but thats because of my first semester like 6 yrs ago. and it was due to illness infact i had to drop out of school cause of it.
since then its almost a 3.9</p>
<p>how important do you think trend is for them?</p>
<p>i doubt they will look at trends, with a 3.9 your in great shape</p>
<p>Can you send anything with your application that explains your circumstances? I do think it would help. Obviously your health affected your first attempt at college. With a fresh start and your added maturity, your chances of success at UT are much higher, and the admissions folks know this!</p>
<p>probably in your essay</p>
<p>yeah im explaining my circumstance in my essay… i dont have a 3.9 gpa… i hav ea gpa in the low 3s… but i have a 3.9 if you dont count that one semester</p>
<p>It will depend on your overall GPA. You can get in with a 3.3ish with some strong essays/EC’s.</p>
<p>i transferred with a 3.48. i don’t know any lower…</p>
<p>A guy a couple years ago got in with a 3.35 in liberal arts. It keeps getting more competitive, so not sure if that would cut it these days.</p>
<p>If you can prove all that (first semester 6 years ago was plagued by illness and you dropped out because of it, and your GPA has been 3.9 since then) with a doctor’s note verifying the illness that required you to drop out, and a letter from your current college verifying that you dropped out, then I think you stand a chance. That’s what the human element is for in their admissions. That’s why it’s not just a simple formula like it is at random Big State U. That’s why they give the opportunity to explain personal circumstances.</p>
<p>But remember something like your situation would be very easy for an unscrupulous person to claim, or even fake. So I wouldn’t rest easy if I were you unless you sent in written proof from authoritative sources.</p>
<p>This happened 6 years ago in a different State pretty far from Texas. I do not live there anymore. However, it is easy to prove that I dropped out because I do not have any attempted classes until a year later when I enrolled in college again for few semester before dropping out again.</p>
<p>I explained in my personal statement. I do not have much strong of a EC because I worked 2 full time jobs. I did however start my own business in recent years and I am doing pretty well which I mentioned in the essay. </p>
<p>I applied for McCombs actually which I know I probably won’t make it in even though (not to sound arrogant) I have more business experience most students there and in the “business indicator” classes I have a 4.0…</p>
<p>Oh well, lets see!</p>
<p>I’m sure they look at positive academic trends. You should be fine.</p>
