<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>
<p>
</p>
<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?

<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>
