<p>I am international students from other country.
I have been studying in Texas since my freshman year and i got automatically accepted.
I will start the school 2014 fall. I just have few question about internal transfer to school of maccombs. </p>
<p>1) Due to my language barrier i am not exactly sure about 24 residency requirements in UT.</p>
<p>2) Calculus I (M 403K, M 408C, or M 308K)
Calculus II (M 403L, M 408D, M 308M)
Microeconomics (ECO 304K)
Macroeconomics (ECO 304L)</p>
<p>The website states that those course are requirements to apply. </p>
<p>Can i exempt any of those classes by taking Community College class, AP exams, and CLEP etc? </p>
<p>3) If so do those grade affect in my GPA in UT? </p>
<p>4) I am not sure but i heard that i need to have 30 credits to apply internal transfer. is it right?</p>
<p>5) Only those 4 classes are requirements, can i take any class what i want? such as really easy class to get good GPA to get accept in school of business.</p>
<p>6) Do international students( i got in-state tuition by satisfying senate bills) have same chance to get accepted in internal transfer like u.s resident? </p>
<p>If you can answer any of those questions it will be really helpful to me! </p>
<p>You are currently a senior at high school, and you applied to UT Austin.
You’ve got automatic admission.
You will start UT next Fall (2014) as Texas resident (you have been here since your Freshman year at high school)
Is this all correct?</p>
<p>What is 24 residency requirements in UT and how is it related to internal transfer to Business school? </p>
<p>Why are you asking about internal transfer if you are still at high school? Internal transfer is for current UT students only.</p>
<p>What colleges at UT have you applied for? Have you applied for Business? If you did, have you already been rejected from Business school or you don’t know yet?</p>
<p>24 hours in residence at UT Austin means that you have to get minimum 24 credit hours in residence at UT (by the end of second semester). AP/IB/CLEP/dual/online credits don’t count. 12 credit hours per semester is minimum to be considered a full time student. </p>
<p>You can take any class that you want but 4 required classes have to be taken during your freshman year since you can transfer to McCombs only in the fall.</p>
<p>Your biggest concern should be your UT GPA. </p>
<p>I would suggest to retake Calculus and Economics at UT even if you can claim AP credit from high school, it will be easier A. And take your native language as foreign language (or another foreign language similar to yours if native language is not allowed). It will be easy A.
Don’t take any classes with writing flag, and try to avoid anything with essays. If you do you’ll not get good grades.
You can take RHE 306Q Rhetoric and Writing for Nonnative speakers of English instead of regular RHE 306 (core requirement). Take it ASAP, first semester.</p>
<p>Sorry to disagree with YaYa, but Economics and Calculus do not have to be part of the 24 hours in residence requirement. You just need them to transfer internally. In fact, if I were you, I would either 1) take the AP/Clep/dual credit or; 2) take whatever Economics or Calculus classes you lack at a community college over the summer before you start in the fall and transfer those credits to UT. Many McCombs internal transfer candidates do this. You do not want to take Economics or Calculus at UT because they tend to be weed-out classes and can wreak havoc on your GPA. As YaYa mentioned, your UT GPA will determine whether you will be accepted internally into McCombs. So focus on classes like History, Government, or sciences (for non-science majors) that tend to be easier to get A’s in, to fulfill your 24 hours.</p>
<p>He is a foreigner. And so am I And I doubt that any classes where grades are based on essays would be easier for a foreigner with “a language barrier” than any classes where grades are based on calculations/numbers/formulas.</p>
<p>Practically all Humanity classes (English, History, Government, Social Studies, even UGS 302/303) will have essays, including essays as part of midterms and finals/no help from tutoring.</p>
<p>What classes are going to be easy for a person with “a language barrier”?</p>
<p>Pass/fail based or easily changed to pass/fail? I know about PED (physical education), but it’s only 1 credit hour. EDP class for an orientation advisor? it’s only 3 credit hours, and you have to go through certain “recruitment process”.
What else?
Even theatre classes that students with native English consider “easy A” require essays!</p>
<p>@Kyle–If you have two years of high school Spanish, you have satisfied the foreign language requirement for internal transfer. Read YaYa’s link above and it will corroborate this. As for Calc 1 and 2 being offered during the summer, all community colleges have these classes. Find whatever CC you live close to and contact them to see when their summer course schedules will come out and how to apply. Or, you could take it at Midland Community College or Dallas County Community College online, which would provide you with greater flexibility. </p>
<p>As for classes that can be taken with no essays: 1) 9 hours of science are required. Typically, science classes do not have essays (physics, chemistry,etc.); 2) 3 hours of social science is required and many psychology and sociology classes do not have essays, just MC exams; 3) Some Anthropology 301 classes are MC only–so that’s 3 hours. So, 15 hours can be found with no essays at all.</p>
<p>The OP will have to take a UGS class and UGS 303 classes are not heavy in writing. The same is true for some History 315 K and L classes, but the OP will need to do research on the professors. The key is to research the professors’ syllabi. The OP will not be able to get away from writing any essays while at UT, even during his freshman year, language barrier or not. In fact, Economics classes have tests with an essay component in them, so it is not advisable to take them at UT if English is a second language, along with their difficulty. Keep in mind there are writing resources at the Sanger Learning Center that can help immensely.</p>
