Got Denied at TAMU

<p>so i got denied at tamu and i have a 3.9 overall gpa trying to get into chemistry or general studies. i guess my question is this: if i got denied at TAMU, do yall think i still have a shot at UT austin? honestly i feel like i had the rug pulled from under me....</p>

<p>Interestingly, I’ve heard many stories of near or at 4.0 transfer students getting rejected from TAMU, but I’ve never heard of an equivalent UT-Austin story like that; maybe at the business or engineering schools, idk. 3.9 should be pretty much guaranteed for natural science or UGS (equivalent to general studies) though. You should feel confident about it.</p>

<p>thats so weird… I would expect UT to have a higher rejection rate than TAMU (No offense to any aggies). I guess im upset because TAMU was my safety net, and i didn’t even want to go there anyways, just wanted to apply so that i could build confidence for the UT admission but now i feel so scared. And i am one of the transfers who still need to turn in final transcript in order to get an admission decision.</p>

<p>Ok, but with a 3.9 the chances are extremely good. TAMU’s just ■■■■■■■■ like that, so forget about it. I can’t imagine a 3.9 would get rejected from “General Studies”. Is it possible that for the chemistry major you didn’t meet all the requirements they have listed? I believe TAMU is very strict about you having practically every class they want you to have done before transferring.</p>

<p>okay so im not cal ready…i should have still been accepted into general studies don’t you think?
I know it was kind of stupid on my part to apply without cal readiness, but the counselor at UT told me that they would overlook that if they see that i make a high score in trigonometry…thats why i applied as a chem/general studies. SO i basically outed myself on both of my safety nets, one for general studies, and one for TAMU…</p>

<p>this scares me … i’m going to be applying to UT fall 2012 as a transfer student from UNT and i will have all the prerequisites for Calc after next semester… ugh</p>

<p>What were all your stats?</p>

<p>what does 3.9 translate to in terms of class rankings? what is your SAT score? are you OOS? all of those matters.</p>

<p>At my high school, 3.9 would be in the 25-50 percentile.
If your OOS, your test scores matters as well.</p>

<p>^^^ that doesn’t matter because I’m a transfer</p>
