<p>Just out of curiosity, has anyone with a high transfer GPA (3.7/3,8+) NOT get into their first choice major? Or do you know someone who didn't get in? Especially for McCombs? I've looked throughly through this site, and I don't think I've seen a single case. From what I've seen, a high GPA along with completion of required courses basically makes someone a shoe-in to transfer into their first choice major.</p>
<p>Im applying to transfer for fall 2011 with a 3.9, but Im applying for petro engineering from OOS, so I dont think Im exactly a shoe-in. Did you find any one trying to transfer for petroE?</p>
<p>I’ve seen people transfer into Cockrell with 3.5/3.6 and above. But those were in state though…For OOS/International, I’m not sure how much more difficult it is, so I couldn’t tell you. BUT a 3.9 is high regardless (especially for engineering) so you definitely have a good chance.</p>
<p>My first post was more aimed towards high GPA and instate residents - a high GPA in-state is seen as being more of a guarantee than a high GPA OOS applicant.</p>
<p>I know some people with 3.7’s who didn’t get into McCombs. As long as you took all the indicator courses and have a high GPA, I don’t see why you wouldn’t get in.
For engineering, you need to have taken some of the indicator courses like Calc, Physics, Chem & Bio as well as have a 3.7+ GPA to have a good chance.</p>
<p>Xcellerator, do you know any 3.9/4.0ers who didn’t get into McCombs? After this semester, I’ll have a GPA that is similar to that.</p>
<p>I have a pretty high GPA (3.86) and am waiting my application decision as well. As I was reading about the conditional major sequence selection, I read that all of the basic sequence courses have to be completed before even being considered for acceptance to the major sequence. I have the calc / physics and a lot of programming done, but not all of the basic sequence completed. Does anyone know if this means that if I am accepted, it will be to the “school of undergrad studies” or is it possible to be admitted to the Cockrell school of engineering? I am wondering if addmitted if it will be for the major I am seeking (EE), or if there is no chance whatsoever without having completed ALL of the basic sequence courses.</p>
