<p>I'm trying to decide on my options for school. I had auto-accepts at all public schools in Texas except UT and A&M. My GPA was pretty rough, about a 3 flat UW, not sure on my weighted but its a lot better. My SAT is over 1800, around 1850 both times i took it, but my superscore is about 2000. I really want to study Political Science at UT Austin but didn't even apply, knowing I wouldn't get in. So what is my best move for trying to transfer into UT? I've been accepted to Arizona State, Texas State, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State. What is my best route to UT? Austin Community College is also an option but I would try to avoid that. Currently leaning on going to Texas State and transferring to UT. So what do y'all think my best route to UT is. </p>
<p>PS: What are reqs to get into UT transferring from other schools in terms of GPA required? Thanks!</p>
<p>I highly recommend going the jc route. My school cost me about 5,000$ a year, I have small class sizes, the teachers are over qualified, and the teachers are easy to get to know if you try. </p>
<p>I know a JC doesn’t seem like the most glamorous choice; however, it gives you a great chance to improve those grades.</p>
<p>I would say choosing to go to a JC was the best choice I have made in my life so far. </p>
<p>Good luck on getting into UT Austin. I applied there and am waiting for the decision.</p>
<p>Hm, that’s plausible but there really isn’t a JC in my area that would work for me. And i definitely still want the feel of real college my freshman year (plus, i have an offer to play lacrosse at multiple schools INCLUDING TState & UT). I think i can handle texas state classes easily, but can anyone tell me what kind of grades are required to transfer from TXState to UT?
PS: Money is not an issue</p>
<p>Wow, you didn’t even apply?? You should seriously go for it, you never know what will happen!</p>
<p>I know some people who transferred to UT from Texas State. It is a lot easier to get in as a transfer. Just keep your grades up as high as possible. I’m not sure what the minimum GPA needs to be, but as long as you do reasonably well, you should be fine.</p>
<p>@centrlteaxs: There is no minimum GPA for UT-Austin. If you plan on transferring into UT-Austin, I would attend an in-state four-year and take a myriad of courses. Admissions Officers find students who take challenging courses more impressive than students who take easy classes and do well. That said, your GPA in these challenging courses should be in the 3.4-3.6 range.</p>
