<p>I'm setting up my application right now, just need to finish my essays, and finish this semester for my updated transcript.
I'm a 2nd year student at University of Houston. My current major is Engineering (with a minor in History), and I have always wanted to be an Engineer, but I have a STRONG interest in Journalism and History; thus I have the inclination to pursue it :)</p>

<p>I'm applying for the Fall 11 school year, since you need to make a Pre-Journalism as your major for school of first choice. My second choice of school is COLA -History.
First School of choice: College of Communications - Pre-Journalism
Second School of choice: College of Liberal Arts - History</p>

<p>My current GPA is a 3.45/4.0
Also this is my first UH semester, I attended a community college for my GE due to economic troubles. My UH GPA is a 0 since this is my first semester, but HCC has it as 3.45/4.0
Do they consider my classes from my previous school as well? </p>

<p>I'm worried because if I don't get in this Fall 11, then I'm just going to stay at UH =/</p>

<p>My plans for the future is to apply for the Peace Corp. and then do Grad school as a International Affairs major, or something very similar to it. </p>

<p>My question is, what are my chances for both Col. of Comm. and COLA. should I put "undeclared" for the COLA instead of History?
I'm just worried overall.</p>

<p>Thanks for hearing me out!!</p>

<p>They will consider your grades from all colleges you went to. I don’t know much about your chances, but I think generally the cutoff for COLA starts at a 3.5</p>

<p>Should I apply early? Say this month or next? The deadline for transfer students is March 1st. I really want to get into this school.</p>

<p>You should probably apply as early as possible. You have a decent chance with a 3.45 GPA for Liberal Arts. I think Communications (Journalism) is a competitive major to get into here at UT.</p>

<p>what do you think my chances are from Washington and Lee with a 3.4?</p>
