<p>I am currently a junior in HS and a resident of California. I really want to go to UT Austin, but I think my chances of getting in first try are pretty slim as an out of state applicant. I know there are good universities in CA and all, but I have the Texas Guaranteed Tuition plan, and it's a better deal than paying full price tuition here. </p>
<p>From what I understand, the CAP program is only offered to Texas residents, which I am obviously not, so my only option would be to transfer. Right now I'm looking at schools like Texas A&M, which I have a fair chance of getting into, and UT Dallas and University of Houston, both of which I can definitely get into. </p>
<p>What I'm wondering is how hard it is to transfer into UT Austin? I'd like to get into the business school, but if I didn't get accepted, I could also go to UT, then transfer into business after I'm already in right? Also, let's assume that I would be able to keep my GPA above 3.5 if I went to, say, U of Houston. Do you think I'd have a fair shot? And also, is this even a good idea? I'd like to know anything you could tell me about the transfer process please ^.^</p>
