Chance me to U of Texas - Austin?

<p>Hi everyone. I'm currently studying at California Community College. I'm an international student who would love to transfer to University of Texas - Austin. I'm not sure if I'd be able to get in. Let me know what you think of the possibilities. I'm applying for Chemical Engineering. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>IELTS: 7.0</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9 with the completion of all physics, calculus, chemistry. </p>

<p>Volunteered as a tutor at public library for 1.5 years, and hospital for 1 year.
Members of Honors Club and Phi Theta Kappa.</p>

<p>So let me know what you think.
Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>I think you have a slight chance because their oos admissions are 20% so they need the top top students idk how international students work but what are your test scores your gpa is high look into university of Florida they focus on gpa the most</p>

<p>you have a good chance, since you have decent GPA and volunteer works</p>

<p>Can you chance my application for the Spring 2014 semester?</p>

<p>School: Started at UH for 13 hours; the rest of my time is at San Jacinto Community College for 96 hours. I have an AAS in Emergency Medical Technology and I will have an AA in Biology at the end of this semester.</p>

<p>Major: I want to go to CNS, however, I really want to get in and chose COLA undeclared and UGS undeclared so that I may increase my chances for admissions.</p>

<p>GPA: My GPA is what really concerns me, primarily because of my semester at UH as a freshman. I failed my chemistry class because I was late in scheduling a final, so I have a 1.9 in 13 attempted hours. However, I transferred to San Jac and did my basic classes until I enrolled in the EMS program and earned my degree. I then finished my Texas Core requirements and will obtain my degree this semester. My GPA at San Jac is currently a 3.67 overall. Additionally, I am taking a General Chemistry class at San Jac and I’m confident I will have an A at the end of the semester. This is the only class I took this semester and it should slightly increase my GPA. I also hope it will make up for the F I made as a Freshman at UH. Now If I combined my GPA from UH and San Jac, my overall GPA would be a 3.49. Despite my poor start in the beginning of my collegiate career, my grades have improved exponentially. I have had a 4.0 GPA in the previous 4 semesters and only acquired 3 Bs in my EMT degree.</p>

<p>Recommendation Letters: I have 2 recommendation letters. One is from my US History Professor who has her PhD, where I excelled in her class. Another is from my Paramedic Instructor, where I excelled in his paramedic program and where I also graduated 1st in my Paramedic class rank.</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities: I have worked as a USAG professional gymnastics coach for five years where I have coached numerous award winning children. I also have a year of EMS working experience, with an additional two years of clinical experience. I am a Nationally and State registered Licensed Paramedic, EMT-Intermediate, EMT-Basic, in addition to numerous other certifications and skills.</p>

<p>Essays: I wrote 2 essays, topic A and E, in which I believe are excellent. It explains my poor academic performance in my early college academics and the F i mentioned, but it also emphasizes my turn around in my academic performance due to my involvement in EMS. It also talked about my experience working as a 911 paramedic and what I’ve went through working and training as one. My essay for topic E talked about the importance of humanitarianism and philanthropy. So I believe both of my essay topics are strong.</p>

<p>So based on my information, do you believe I have a chance of being admitted, despite my poor academics in the beginning of my collegiate career.</p>

<p>Goodluck everyone!</p>
