<p>I went to a school while back. Due to personal reason I dropped out but never withdrew and ended up failing most of my classes. I decided to go back to college and did really well. But my over all gpa was around a 3.19 and I applied to UT last year and got rejected, I appealed and still got rejected. I applied again for the spring and was rejected again. The past year I have talked to just about everyone at the UT Admissions department. I spoke to the dean of transfer admissions right before I appealed again and I was told that the lowest GPA they accepted was around a 3.4 and that UT is not very forgiving. My GPA came to about a 3.3 after another semester of 4.0.</p>
<p>Anyways, so I figured I wouldn't get in and checked the admissions site after the winter break and saw it said that they could not give me admissions. Anyways, for some reason I checked again the next night at like 3 am...and my password wasn't working. I figured they just kicked me off the system completely, then i read the error message and read that I had to change my password. After changing password and logging in, I saw the word Congratulations! and just couldn't believe it. I called UT the next day to make sure it wasn't an error. Anyways, anyone reading this and in similar situation as me, do not give up!</p>
<p>That’s a really good story to hear… I’m a transfer as well (though still trying to get in) and I can’t stop from smiling! What major are you doing?</p>
<p>when i saw congratulations, i read each word forward and backwards 3 times just to make sense out of it, not that it was already so straightforward. Then I had to verify my name and logged back out. Back in. Closed browser, restarted computer, logged back in, same message. I then stared at the screen for two minutes, got up, pinched myself, tried to tumble down the stair b/c usually when you’re falling in a dream, you wake up…& ran yelling around the house waking up msot everyone who had just fallen asleep. Everyone went back to sleep in a bit and I stood up the whole night reading college confidential.</p>
<p>Thanks guys for words of encouragement. I am an Int’l Relations major. Nxt: I called my mom at like 3 am and she freaked out because she thought something was wrong.</p>
