<p>Hi! So ill have about a 3.41 gpa at the end of this semester and that transcript will be sent to UT on december 15. the counselor said i should find out in early january but i'm so anxious!</p>
<p>my first school choice: College of Natural Science - Human development and family sciences
my second school choice: COLA - Sociology </p>
<p>What are my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>Anybody else applying?</p>
<p>applicants in the past?</p>
<p>I have a friend in the same situation only he wants to go into communications. He got a 3.4 GPA at a local community college this semester as well and has sent in his fall semester class transcript to UT. The application deadline for transfer students is March 1, however as I understand it, transfer students are not given rolling application decisions because they must show proof of a final transcript with 30 transferable credit hours. I may be wrong in that the Admissions Office will alert you sooner, but I am unsure, so please comment back on that if you know when they alert you of the decision. </p>
<p>Secondly, as far as chances for you go, I’ve heard unofficially on the CC forums that UT’s typical cutoff GPA for transfer students is 3.2, but on the UT website, they say that a 3.0 is the official cutoff GPA. </p>
<p>GPA is probably the most important element in your application, but the essays are the second biggest determining factor in a transfer student’s application since you don’t have to send SAT/ACT/high school grades. </p>
<p>If your essays were solid, I’d say you have a pretty good chance on getting in to the COLA :)</p>
<p>Whoops, COLA was your second choice, not your first. But either way, your circumstances feel pretty safe even for admission to natty sci.</p>
<p>I am applying for UT in Spring 2014 but I need to boost my GPA up as far as possible. By that time I will have around if not dead at a 3.5. I’m nervous because it is super competitive. I’ll be going in as a Junior though and I am a Philosophy major.
What exactly would my chances be? I keep hearing different things, like someone told me don’t even look at the application if you don’t have above a 3.5 and others say, like this thread, a 3.2 which I will definitely have. </p>
<p>I guess I’m looking for people who had experience with applying in COLA.</p>
