Hi, I am currently a sophomore in college, hoping to transfer to UT Austin for Fall 2023. Since I’m out of state, it’s hard to gauge my chances and I haven’t been able to find much online about the competitiveness of the public health major.

I also emailed admissions with a question about updating them about recent achievements that I’ve acquired after the deadline. They told me that I could submit them but there’s no guarantee that they’ll be reviewed since it’s after the deadline

- Accepted into summer program meant to orient undergraduate students to research

- UT Austin
This is the only school that I’ve applied for transfer for, as it’s my dream school and I was initially rejected as a senior in high school. I would appreciate any insight on my chances of being accepted for Fall 2023
