<p>Whats better, Internal or External Transfer? I got accepted into CAP, but I want to go into Mccombs business school. I have a 4.0 GPA in College right now and will most likely maintain it. I'm deciding on which is the best option.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Sorry my first post doesn't make sense. I was in a rush and I apologize.</p>
<p>I want to major in Accounting and I got accepted into the CAP but they will only accept me into the Liberal Arts/Science program and not the Mccombs business school. Right now I have a 4.0 GPA in college (December Grad) and I'm deciding on whether I should enter the CAP and go to UTSA and transfer internally or continue my education at TAMUK and transfer externally.</p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>if your end goal is to go into business, because you know for SURE that is what you want to do, you have several options:</p>
<p>1.) Go to CAP, then wait ANOTHER year for you to have a GPA at UT-Austin (transferred courses do not count for your gpa). besides the two years it would take, you'd also have to again get a 4.0 to transfer succesfully into mccombs. i am not sure this is the best option for you, because what courses WOULD you take? it seems like you'd ave a lot of the core done,a nd thus they would make you take natural sciences/liberal arts courses that are irrelevant to business school.</p>
<p>frankly, the better option:
1.) although your chcances of getting into mccombs will be decreased statistically, this is the best route to go honestly because a.) you don't have to wait for two years b.) you can get started right away, if accepted. frankly, if you have strong extracurriculars and can write relatively well, this is the best option for you. though, mccombs is a GPA stickler first and foremost...but i just don't see why you hesitate to go this route...riskier, but a lot more effective imho.</p>
<p>Wow I can't believe I didn't think of problems I would face if I transferred internally! Thank you! You really helped me out. Thanks again!</p>
<p>yeah honestly with a 4.0 gpa already, you can't be any more of a strong candidate...</p>
<p>Do you think UT will down upon me because I took Calculus I & II at a junior college while I took the rest of my credits from TAMUK?</p>
<p>UT is very accepting of credits when you transfer in, so i don't know why they would take courses against you when transferring. you have nothing to worry about, just do it. look to see if on the ut course equivalency system if those credits would normally transfer. (google "ut equivalency system") if you receive credit for them, then chances are they won't look them down. if you have taken math coursework that required calculus at TAMUK and have succeeded, that just goes to show that you're a good candidate.</p>
<p>you've already taken the courses...there's no use worrying. :)</p>
<p>Lol K Thanks a lot =P</p>
<p>When you try to CAP in, you can also apply as an external transfer candidate for McCombs. If you get in, great, and if not, you can work on core courses for another year and then transfer in after your 5th semester of school if you have a 3.6-3.7 GPA while at UT.</p>
<p>I would stick with your external transfer. Maintain at least a 3.8 GPA and you should be into McCombs externally. Even if you don't get into business you can still get into another major externally that is easier to get into.</p>

<p>67% of the internal transfers were admitted last year with an average GPA of 3.7, I wouldnt count on external (i got denied with 9 A's 1 B and know of some 4.0 rejections) but internal is much easier so either way it would work out if you keep your grades up</p>
