Current College: Sam Houston State (In the Elliot T. Bowers Honors College)
Major: Sociology
GPA: 3.59
Hours: 37
3 drops
I feel strong about my essays and my letters of recommendation (one from the Dean of the Honors College, one from the VP of Sales at AMD, and two from professors)
I work on campus, am participating in our Undergraduate Research Symposium,and have made the Dean’s List (3.5 and higher GPA’s) twice and the President’s Honor Roll (4.0 GPA’s) once.
UT is a little more forgiving about drops than A&M, so you should be OK with 3 drops. Also, you should be a lock if you already have 37 hours. But, you still have a good chance if you meant you will have 37 hours after this semeser. UT prefers 30 hours by the app deadline, but holds a few spots for students who will reach 30 by the end of the semester.
UT’s Transfer Times has more info about the preference for 30 hours by the application deadline. Also, the 2011 edition has a breakdown of average GPAs and admission rates by UT Department. The average admit GPA for COLA back then was about 3.6, and the transfer admit rate was about 38%. At one of the transfer info sessions last year, a speaker said the average GPA of transfer applicants was 3.4 or so. I hope this helps. Good luck, and HOOK’EM!!!
Hey! i definitely think you will get in. We have almost the same educational stats but without the drops and i got in about 2 weeks ago. Oh and im transferring from SHSU too lol
