<p>I have a 3.75 as an ECON major, what are my chances of getting into McCombs for the Fall '10 term?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>from what they say on this site you will probably need to go up .25 points to have a real shot. if you can get that 3.8 you are in.</p>
<p>If youve taken calc 1&2 and macro / micro and the cutoff is the same as before then youre in. The most recent cutoff was at 3.6 but that can always change depending on the applicant pool. Youre probably safe though</p>
<p>guess i was looking at the wrong chart</p>
<p>3.8 was the average gpa for transfer to business and 3.6 was the minimum</p>
<p>If 3.8 is the average you should get in, especially since they switched to a +/- system (right?) so the average will probably drop a little.</p>
<p>I’m probably going there next year as undeclared b/c I didn’t get into McCombs. How hard was it to get a 3.75?</p>
<p>You should be fine, you are right around the past averages and considering they switched to a plus/minus scale this year, the average GPA will probably drop a bit.</p>
<p>It’s my worst case scenario GPA for this semester so just doing a cross check, I’ve heard that the GPA will probably drop from that plus minus system just a bit, I heard they accept transfers literally on a descending GPA list basis until they hit a maximum transfer level.</p>
<p>yao- how hard was it to get a 3.75? I’m thinking of going to UT next year, but I’d have to do an internal transfer to McCombs since I didn’t get in as a freshman and would like to know how feasible that is. Thanks</p>
<p>@toffa you can also do an external transfer, im assuming your coming in as a sophmore since you said u didnt get in as a freshman</p>
<p>i meant i didnt get in for freshman year-im a HS senior</p>
<p>o so you already got in UT just not mccombs</p>
<p>yeah sorry for the confusion- im going in undeclared as a freshman next year, then applying to Mccombs. I’m not going there for sure yet, but it’ll probably happen</p>
<p>get your 3.7 and your in, what are your other options?</p>
<p>yaoming- i’m also wondering how hard it was for you to obtain that 3.75 bc i will be in the same situation as yourself if i go to UT. Thanks!</p>
<p>I am in the same boat and am curious as well! If you took calc 1 and 2 at UT, how hard were those?</p>
<p>have you been to the transfer session? there they said that although the average GPA is a 3.8, the minimum GPA was a 3.6. Basically what they do is set aside ~200 seats (i think that was the number, not sure) for transfers, rank the GPAs and allow the seats to fill up until there are only a few left (usually, at this point, the GPA is 3.6 for the last person who has gained a seat via GPA). The remaining seats are filled based on GPA, honors, awards, etc. Thus, if you have a 3.75, it means you are likely to get in. Plus minus also screws things up so I do predict the average/minimum GPA to drop as a result, but that’s just what I think… good luck! :)</p>
<p>kissarmy-
if you took cal in high school it really isn’t that bad. I thought cal 1 was pretty easy. Cal 2 is more challenging though. Again, if you have taken calc in high school, it should be easier…</p>
<p>i took cal 1 2 and 3 here</p>
<p>i strategically picked my courses so where id have an optimal gpa, depends on diff variables</p>
