Getting in for graduate school

Colleges and Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

I’m currently finishing my undergraduate degree having made the Dean’s List the last three semesters. I struggled in community college(up and down grades) and failed classes my first semester at a my current university. After that semester I applied myself and have been getting 3.5 or better each semester GPA wise. My question is, I’m great at interviews, I’ve had several long term internships in the field I’d like to get into with a graduate degree and have made good grades in junior and senior level classes(junior year and up). I’m planning to really prep for the GRE but I’m curious do I have a shot at the best programs? I’m a Texas resident trying to get in the University of Texas or TCU. The one program that interests me at UT just started this year, so I would be applying for the second year.

I was curious if anyone had tips for me, it would be great for these schools but if you had similar undergraduate experiences and got into graduate school anywhere it would help!

Best,

Ty

I took this directly from the school’s website.

If your GPA is at least 3.0 in Junior and Senior LEVEL classes, I believe you have a chance.

What program are you interested in? The requirements for some individual graduate programs, for example GPA, may be higher.

Thanks so much for replying! I’m interested in Urban and regional Development Planning or the new Masters of Marketing program they have at McCombs!
