<p>I don’t understand the choice here. What exactly are you choosing between?</p>
<p>By all means, talk to your advisor about it. They can be a great help. They will know which courses will apply to accounting and work with you on a schedule. Always double check them with the catalog though. Some advisors make mistakes. </p>
<p>You did two years of school in the past. How many hours do you have? The reason I ask is that if you have 90 hours or more at the time you apply to McCombs, you will be automatically denied. You will instead be told to apply for the MPA program whenever you finish your bachelors degree.</p>
<p>You have a 3.5. That should be good enough for liberal arts and economics. Take 24 hours but be sure to not go over 90 total. Courses to take? Well, the economics and accounting programs both require ECO 304K, 304L, and 420K. I wouldn’t take 420K unless you absolutely had to since it can be a bit of a GPA killer. If you need Calculus I and II still, try to get Gonzales or Reid for the professor. Some of the others aren’t great teachers of the subject, even if they do know the material. Any general eds that accounting requires, such as the CMS 306M. It should be pretty easy. Check myedu.com for professor reviews and grade distribution. I can’t really tell you more specifically what to take without knowing what you have taken already. </p>
<p>I would ask the advisor too about being coded for the actuarial concentration. You can make it more believable by telling him/her that is your backup plan. Plenty of economics majors do it for real so it is a normal plan. The reason I state this is that if you get that code, you will be able to take ACC 311 and 312. Otherwise, those are restricted courses and you will not be able to take them until you are admitted to McCombs.</p>
<p>Thanks Fiyero, I will try to make it clear.I have 82 credits. my degree is in liberal arts.</p>
<p>It was all part a degree program(most of them are electives and prerequistes as I can see). I dont have ANY accounting courses, all lower division genered ed. I have English, Bio, Chem with lab, Calc I and II(lot of prereq) Communication, speech, humanities etc</p>
<p>If I take the 24 as required, it WILL take me over 90. That is why I asked about the fresh start.</p>
<p>The question I have been trying to ask is: In which scenario UT will deny admission.
If I have</p>
<p>82 (transferable and DEGREE APPLICABLE(IN THIS CASE ACCOUNTING).ie I have taken higher level of accounting/economics/finance. I am true JUNIOR in accounting major</p>
<p>or simply any 82 transferable credits will not get me in UT</p>
<p>At the moment I am a junior BASED on my credits, but most of them are not applicable toward ACCOUNTING. </p>
<p>Max transferable credits Rule(90 credits) apply to McCoombs only or all UT schools</p>
<p>If you want to be go to an MPA track, I strongly suggest UNT in Denton. They’re the number 1 MPA program in Texas and ranked number 8 in the United States. :)</p>
<p>^ It is. I had always thought of UT Austin as ‘good for a public’ in high school, but when I started looking at rankings I realized that it had a ton of top 10 majors, including all of the ones in the business program and I ended up going there. My teachers gave me confused/disappointed looks when I told them where I was going because it wasn’t Cornell or Duke or Rice or similar, but I’m saving so much money here and the program is really great, though there were some nasty efforts to deflate grades in a lot of my classes (LSAC says UT is the 30th hardest uni despite how some programs are shockingly easier than others), but that gets better once you start taking more relevant things to your major and you see more classes with over 15-25% A’s.</p>
<p>Where did you get the info about the LSAC and the 30th hardest? I don’t doubt you but I’d like to share that article with someone applying to law school. </p>
