<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I am trying to get into the engineering school for ME and was wondering if there is anyone who has successfully done an internal transfer to give me more information on how it works? I have a 3.9 gpa and I am in the college of natural sciences. I already submitted an application for spring 2012 but have not heard a word. Any info is appreciated! :)</p>

<p>I don’t have any personal experience to share, but according to those tables, past transfers had at least a 3.85 GPA. Apparently mechanical and civil engineering have a preference for in-state applicants so being in-state should give you a decent boost.</p>
<p>Best of luck on your transfer!</p>
<p>I tried searching up old threads to see if there was more information on the admissions process, but I cant seem to find anything… just that internal transfer chart. I was wondering if there was currently anyone out there that is in the same situation as me?</p>
<p>I’m trying to transfer as well to ME (from EE). The internal transfer adviser told me that decisions would be posted Christmas eve, but I haven’t heard back either.</p>
<p>The lady who I talked to told me that decisions would be sent out during the first week of January, but I’m not exactly sure how we are evaluated since there is no essay or anything at all on the application. What was your GPA, if I may know?</p>
<p>I have a 3.77 GPA, so I’m right on the border for past years. She told me it was an objective process–which is why no essay is required. This is from the internal transfer website:</p>
<ol>
<li> A student must complete a minimum of 24 hours at UT-Austin in residence (in a UT-Austin classroom). Credit by exam, correspondence, extension and transfer hours are not included in the 24-hour minimum. </li>
<li> A student is required to have completed the equivalent of M 408D.<br></li>
<li> A student is required to have completed the equivalent of PHY 303K/103M.</li>
<li> For equally qualified applicants, preference will be given to the student who has completed more of the Basic Sequence courses required for the requested major.</li>
<li> Some departments may have additional criteria for consideration, please see department section of the Undergraduate Catalog.</li>
<li> Students who are currently enrolled and are in the process of meeting the minimum criteria listed 1 through 3 are eligible to submit an application.</li>
<li> Admission to all majors in the Cockrell School of Engineering is offered on a space-available basis to those students who are best academically qualified. Best academically qualified is based on the UT-Austin in-residence cumulative grade point average and the University of Texas at Austin in-residence required technical grade point average. Required technical gpa courses include: physics, calculus, chemistry, biology, geology and departmental courses required for major.</li>
</ol>
<p>The only issue I find with this is the fact that they let people apply even without the 24 hour in residence requirement (this happened to me). I suppose all we can do for the moment is wait. Keep me updated if you hear any news.</p>
<p>Accepted/approved for ME!</p>
<p>alright abc12356! congrats!!</p>
