<p>I am graduating from high school a year early with the Class of 2014. My initial plan was to go to the University of Texas at Arlington under CAP for a year and then go to UT, however, since I decided on graduating towards the end of the 1st semester of school, I did not get to meet the application deadline to apply to The University of Texas at Austin, which is what I am initially supposed to do if I want to be able to enter CAP at another UT Branch School. Since I am unable to do CAP, my 2nd option was to go to another college/university for a year, and then try to transfer into UT, since I hear transferring into UT as a college student is far more easier than trying to get admission as a high school senior if you are not qualified for Automatic Admission. And then I heard that UT also has automatic admission for transfer students.</p>
<p>To get to the point, my question is, exactly how does automatic admission as a transfer student work? In one of the requirements, it said you had to "qualify for automatic freshman admission to a Texas university based on Texas law when you graduate from high school." Does that mean I had to be able to qualify for automatic freshman admission into UT by the time I graduated from high school, or does that mean I had to qualify for automatic admission "a" Texas university (any texas university), for example, The University of Texas at Arlington, which provides automatic admission to first-time freshman if they were in the top 25% of their class? If that is the case, would I qualify for automatic admission as a transfer student into UT, if I am in the top 25% of my class and qualify for automatic admission to schools such as UTA, or other Texas universities? (assuming I went to a community college and maintained a high GPA, and met all other requirements for automatic admission). Sorry for the long post, I'm just trying very hard to find a way I can be accepted into UT! Thank you.</p>
