<p>do you have to be offered cap to participate in it?</p>
<p>and if not what are the chances of transferring from acc to uta</p>
<p>could you tell me the pros and cons of both?</p>
<p>thanks s much</p>
<p>Although the web site doesn't say so, I think that every qualified (no deficiencies, reasonable GPA) applicant who graduates from a Texas high school is either admitted (regular admit or Summer Freshman Class admit) or CAPped. </p>
<p>You have to be offered CAP.</p>

Coordinated Admission Program (CAP) Details
* Only Texas residents who apply for freshman admission to UT Austin may be offered participation in CAP.** Students cannot apply directly to CAP.**
* Once offered participation in CAP, students choose from participating UT System institutions (UT Arlington, UT Brownsville, UT El Paso, UT Pan American, UT Permian Basin, UT San Antonio, and UT Tyler). Some participating institutions set their own admission standards for CAP participants.
* Each institution works with its CAP students to provide housing and financial aid as long as space is available.
* CAP students are guaranteed admission to UT Austin for their sophomore year if they earn 30 hours of transferable coursework and achieve at least a 3.2 GPA. All 30 hours must be earned during the regular fall or spring semesters. Credit for courses taken during short semesters or mini-mesters cannot be used to fulfill the 30-hour requirement.
* Returning CAP students are admitted as UT Austin transfer students into the College of Liberal Arts or the College of Natural Sciences. Students may request (but are not guaranteed) admission to other colleges without jeopardizing their admission to the university.

<p>I belive that a transfer after a CAP year is absolutely guaranteed if you meet the CAP requirement. I believe that a transfer from ACC is likely but not guaranteed. I think this is a major of CAP.</p>
<p>If the 15 credits per semester is five 3-credit classes, you can get a 3.2 each semester with 4 B's and an A, or 1 C, 2 B's, and 2 A's. If you were in CAP, you would have a problem if you went to one of the CAP schools planning to transfer in a year and then did not finish 30 credits during the regular school year or didn't get a 3.2 GPA - your transfer would not be guaranteed. So, risking "going to a school you don't really like, and then not being able to transfer after a year" is a disadvantage of CAP.</p>

<p>oh ok well i was trying to apply in the spring since i herd it was easier but i guess not cause i got denied and not even offered CAP</p>
<p>so what are the chances of me transferring from acc because that seems like my only hope now
how does it work?
im pretty sure i can keep a 4.0 gpa there at acc</p>
<p>and also does transferring from community college look bad when your trying to apply for med school?</p>
<p>There are a lot of posts about community college on studentdoctor.com in the premed forum. They say that as long as you do as well in the 4-year college as you did in the community college, the community college year or years won't hurt you. The risk is that if you get a 4.0 at your CC and a lower GPA at the four year college, they may think that the CC grades shouldn't count for much, that they were too grade inflated.</p>
<p>If you get a 4.0 at your CC and then a 3.8 or so at your four-year college, and you score well on the MCAT, you should be fine. Check studentdoctor.net for a lot of discussion on premed life applying to med schools, and life during medical school. It is a nice site.</p>
<p>How hard would it be to get a ~4.0 at ACC taking business requirements?
Undergraduate</a> Programs - The McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin</p>
<p>If you are talking about the requirements for freshman year, they are your basic english, econ, history, etc. It isn't hard to get a 4.0 at acc taking those (anecdotally, I know of several kids who did the ACC to UT Austin route, and they didn't necessarily have 4.0's either). I wouldn't recommend taking any of the business school courses (accounting, MIS, etc.) at ACC though.</p>
<p>anyone know what are the chances of an oos transfer student from a community college to UTAustin and im from california???</p>
