<p>Which do you think would be easier for me to do. I want to get into UT cockrell school of engineering for electrical engineering but i currently do not meet the calculus requriements. </p>
<p>My plan was gonna be to go to the CNS and then try to internally transfer into electrical engineering at cockrell.</p>
<p>but i'm having second thoughts. would it be easier for me to just stay at my university for one more year finishing the calc requirements and to do an external transfer? </p>
<p>I just really want out of here and want to be at UT. Very confused any help would be much appreciated. </p>
<p>Hey, I was in the exact same predicament. I too pondered whether to stay at my current school and finish Cal or Go to CNS and Internal Transfer into AerospaceE. </p>
<p>I’ve decided To attend UT now. The waiting on a decision was gruesome and I did not want to go through that again, and risk being REJECTED in a far more competitive program.</p>
<p>Interest in Astronomy also pushed me toward attending The CNS. </p>
<p>Ask your yourself if you’re satisfied studying in CNS for a while, because IntTransferring can be quite difficult as it is largely based on availability. </p>
<p>Check this out:
Scroll down to the “Admission Decision Criteria” section and click the semester links: Summer and spring 11/12.</p>
<p>in my point of view, external transfer is a way easier! in the link that xig591 post, you can see the average GPA you should have. it is pretty much around 3.5. but believe me, 3.5 at UT is not so easy particularly because of the + and - system of grade. i don’t know your GPA but I think it will be easier for u to get a high GPA at a Community College. It you decide to do internal transfer, ask you first if you like the degree you are doing, in case they reject your internal transfer application. but you should also ask you the same if you go tothe community college. to do so, you will deny your admission in CNS, but what if in the community college you don’t have a good GPA, and Austin reject your application? this is my point but the decision remains yours !</p>
<p>^^^Plausible scenarios. External transferring is advised, but I’d still take the sure route and just work my butt off. Thats just me though, its not impossible :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply guys! I’m at the university of North Texas right now and it bothers me so much that every thing about this place is so mediocre. I know it sounds ignorant but i really do not want to spend one more year here even though I have a 4.0 at my university right now.</p>
<p>I looked at that link xig5591 and it says that the average gpa for electrical engineering is only 3.34!! That sounds very low to me?! How accurate is this?
also are you attending UT right now? or transferring next semester</p>
<p>Sorry for the late reply but I’m feeling like an old man dont know what it is :(</p>
<p>Yeah Its tough to IntTransfer. I will attend UT’s Fall 2012 sem. CNS Astronomy and eventually IntTransfer to Cockrell. Pretty exciting for me, I love astronomy, but not much of a job market. I thought about waiting one more year but I have a 3.69 and 49 credits… I dont know if I can raise my GPA to 3.7+ (if I retake Econ maybe but I dont know…) I think I’m gonna get a B at best on trig and that wont help (I haven’t slacked off this much since High School)</p>
<p>Hmmm… Can you take one more year at UNT? If you maintain that GPA you should have no problem ExtTransferring. I think IntTransferring is based on ‘first come first serve’ </p>
<p>The choice is yours
For me, if I was in your shoes and I was very confident, I think I’d stay 1 more year. If you really hate UNT that much and wanna GET OUT, I’m sure you can do it! </p>
<p>Good luck!!! Whatever choice you make… You’ll be studying E-Enginneering eventually!</p>
<p>ok well i made a C and a B in 3 credit hour courses in my dual credit class i took in highschool… will they average that in with my 4.0?
ugh lol i wish i knew that bad then or else i wouldnt have blown it off</p>
<p>at UNT my gpa is a 4.0 and probably will be after this semester. but i have dual credit classes i took in highschool that i got one C and one C in so</p>
<p>ChecksixBR, did you send your dual credit coursework to UNT for credit? If you did, then it will not count as a grade at UNT and thus will not be included in your UNT GPA. It would show as credit only. If you send the dual credit coursework separately to UT, they may average in your GPA from dual credit/CC with your UNT coursework. </p>
<p>If you haven’t transferred the dual credit to UNT, it would be best to do so before sending your UNT transcript to UT. I hope I made that clear. :)</p>
<p>Weird. In my community college, my dual credit GPA averaged with my overall GPA. I got a C in Econ and its showing. I guess its different for Universities.</p>
<p>Makes sense. That 4.0 wouldn’t be if that C counted, Unless you have a ton of hours to compensate.</p>
<p>I went through a situation, more like xig5591’s, but I can tell you that I would not recommend an internal transfer over an external one. I did it, and I found that working very hard at another university/college and transferring directly into the engineering school was the easiest way to go. Be aware that if you decide to do the internal transfer to engineering, the amount of requirements goes up, as does the competitiveness. (Also, it is possible to have the 24 hour in residence requirement waived.)</p>
