Hopeful lib arts transfer. Help please

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

<p>'m finishing up my second semester of my first year at a local cc. At the end of the semester I should have a 3.43 with 32 hours. I intend to go to University of Texas next spring since i missed Fall 2011 deadline. I have two summer classes i'm signed up for and possibly a third.</p>

<p>My question is... i was originally going to be a finance major at A&M but changed it to Economics at UT about a month ago... theres about four classes i'd be missing from the core because i wasn't planning on changing majors so i wasn't taking those classes to begin with. Should i go ahead and apply at the end of the semester (2 weeks) or take my 2 or 3 summer classes before i apply?</p>

<p>I guess i'm asking if UT will make a judgement based on what i have taken? Or can i tell them in my application that i switched majors during the middle of the second semester and plan on taking those classes as soon as possible? (I'm scared i will mess up my 3.4 with summer classes and just want to apply already) Thank you</p>

<p>Relax, take your time, and apply for fall 2012. I was in the exact same situation as you. I was going to apply for spring 2011 but there was a bunch of stuff I was going to have to complete in such a short amount of time in addition to the my regular class schedule. I am so happy I waited. I believe transferring in the fall makes for a more natural, smoother transition. There are soooo many aspects to transferring that its really not something you should be rushing.</p>

<p>That’s kind of what I was thinking. I still probably wouldn’t have the first two year requirements done (mainly second year courses) so I was wondering if they base it more on whether or not I have completed certain courses, or if it’s rather the quality of courses already taken.</p>
