<p>I’m pretty sure UT doesn’t have rolling admissions (unlike A&M) so we would most likely hear back around April (my friend who transferred there from UH Main mentioned he heard back around then)</p>
<p>if anyone has heard back within any branch of engineering for transfer let us know through posts please!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Maria, I know nobody but UT can give me a definite answer, but I’m just looking for an idea or even an opinion. But thanks for your input. And just to clear your post, UT is not rolling at all, but the people who have more advantage are the people who already have their 30 hours completed. From your previous post, it seems that you have more than 30 completed, so you’ll hear back between late April and early May. Whereas, the ones who have their 30hours in progress, they’ll be hearing the decisions between late May and early June. I got this info when I called UT admissions and asked them. Anyways, thanks for the info! </p>
<ul>
<li><p>College: Austin Community College </p></li>
<li><p>GPA: 4.0 with 32 hours (will have 46 by end of Spring 2014 semester; expecting GPA to be 3.9)</p></li>
<li><p>Applied to MechEngr as first choice, ChemEngr as second choice</p></li>
<li><p>Extracurriculars:
*High school:
Played football, track, and lacrosse - no varsity letters though
Mu Alpha Theta, National Honor Society
Eagle Scout; held top leadership positions in patrol
*College:
Phi Theta Kappa member
ACC Honors Program (took Physics for Engineers I Honors course) </p></li>
<li><p>Letters of Recommendation: Haven’t submitted any but could probably get one from Calc 3 professor and one from Statics professor later on in semester (if it isn’t too late)</p></li>
<li><p>Essays: Essay A and E, but they are nothing extraordinary. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>P.S. MyStatus tells me that my application has gone into review if that makes a difference.</p>
<p>The reason I am scurred is that I did not submit any rec letters and my essays are not too powerful. Good luck everybody!</p>
<p>Does anyone know how long it takes to get accepted after our application is in review?</p>
<p>It sounds like a pretty awkward conversation. “Hey Professor X, I wanna transfer to UT”</p>
<p>@rohanchittur it’s not more of an advantage to have over 30 hours when you apply. Whether you have 30 hours now, or by the end of the semester it’s still equal opportunity. The only “advantage” is not having to wait as long for a decision. </p>
<p>@Korsgaard if its awkward to talk to the professors, e-mail them. I e-mailed my professors and they were fine with that. I googled sample e-mails asking for rec letters before i wrote mine. Here’s a tip, specifically talk about what you like about their class and some of the things you did in their class like an essay that you wrote for instance and what you learned. </p>
<p>@Korsgaard not to butt into the conversation but you shouldn’t feel awkward about asking for a letter of recommendation. I understand how you could feel that way, but all professors want from their students is success whether that be at the currents college or not. If you can succeed elsewhere then they would be happy/ proud to write you a letter. Like Rice00Pricess said, you can e-mail them if you really need to, but it’s always nice to talk to them in person.

<p>Side note, I went into CC thinking that it was going to be easy. I’m not saying it’s not easy because for the most part it is, but I’ve been struggling a little bit lately. I have 2 A’s, and 2 C’s, I don’t get C’s, ever. . For anyone that went to CC did y’all go through that? I’m scared that my GPA is going to drop because of it, or that I’m going to struggle a lot at UT. </p>
<p>Saborak I’ve gotten some C’s myself. Currently sitting at a 3.6 with 59 credits. A lot of these classes at cc are just as hard as university. I know this because there are people from universities around here who will come take their hard classes at a cc thinking it will be easier. Man they are always in for a surprise.</p>
<p>And even in university when the classes are harder, they will certainly give a bigger curve so I think it all kind of evens out in the long run, with university being a bit harder overall. Whatever grades you’re making now will probably be the same grades you make at university.</p>
<p>Thank you @bigDeeOT for the reply! Thats really reassuring. </p>
<p>@saborak Agree with what has been posted about CCs. I started out as a physics major and some of the professors I had at my CC were also teaching at the university. These transfer plans are in place because the standard at a CC is acceptable and rigorous enough to equate to 4 year. </p>
<p>bigDeeOT is correct, my first quantum mechanics class was just a hot mess and I was already thinking I am out on grad school but behold the curve saved me. You do what you can to the best of your ability and everything will work out, you made it this for. </p>
<p>@Saborak and @riceprincess00
Thank you for the advice.</p>
<p>CC is typically easier for most people than classes in university. Many students at UT take courses like Engineering Physics and Calculus at ACC for this reason (also because they can gain credit with out it affecting their internal GPA). For example, I have heard calculus at UT does not allow students to use calculators, while all the calculus classes I have taken at ACC have allowed the use of calculators. The classes are smaller at CC, so students can get more individual help. But it really depends on your professor and how difficult they wish to make the class.</p>
<p>Anyone else’s status on ‘in review’ yet?</p>
<p>Does anyone know how long will it take to get the admission decision once my transfer application goes in ‘review’
Thank you</p>
<p>@rice00princess. My application is in review. </p>
<p>Do you guys think when the application go into review kind of foreshadow whether you’ll get in or not? I’m kind of scared now. :-SS </p>
<p>Mine is now in review [-O< </p>
<p>@rice00princess I stopped checking since I figured nothing would change during spring break but yesterday night I checked and it changed to ‘in review’ and now I can’t stop thinking about it </p>
