Official Fall 2010 Transfer Thread!

<p>So you want to get into mccombs? Did you take micro, macro, calc 1 and 2?</p>

<p>I thought you couldn’t transfer to UT with 90+ hours. At least that’s what it says on their Admissions site.</p>

<p>hmm I would think you would be able to just transfer 90 hours if that’s the case, I have no idea though.</p>

<p>100 credits?? You’re that close to graduating and you want to transfer?</p>

<p>Ahhhh…it’s for the name of the school on the diploma, isn’t it?</p>

<p>Sorry I just tried to find where it said the 90 hour rule and couldn’t find it, maybe I mistook UT’s Admissions for another institution’s Admissions site.</p>

<p>Is it possible for admissions decisions to come out earlier for transfer applicants? I can’t imagine waiting until April!!</p>

<p>Consider yourself lucky, I have to wait until the end of May.</p>

<p>Anybody knows when should we start looking for acceptance/rejection letters in our mail?</p>

<p>Late May for those who have completed 30 hours, late June for those of us that have to resend our transcripts.</p>

<p>Wow, College Confidential! I haven’t been here in ages.</p>

<p>I’m applying as an out of state transfer as a “non-degree” seeking student to the College of Natural Sciences (computer science). </p>

<p>Will have BA in Political Science and Minor in economics as of Spring 2010 from Washington University in St. Louis
Major GPA: 3.85
Overall GPA: 3.54 (freshman year = 3.2)
ACT: 34
SAT: 2270</p>

<p>The Good:
+Lots of extracurriculars/intern experience, including semi-impressive ones–but not all directly related to Computer Science
+I feel like I did well on my essay, which traces my arc from liberal arts to computer science
+I have a history with Web Design, which is mildly computer sciencey
+From obscure state (Arkansas—but this is also a negative, because I’m out of state)
+High level math courses (took Calculus III while still in high school and qualified for AIME)</p>

<p>The Bad:
-Out of State
-Did not ask for recommendation b/c I only have one computer science course while in college
-GPA took a slight dip senior year 1st semester
-I’m old (22)</p>

<p>I’m pretty nervous, and I’m not taking anything for granted. I’m considering reapplying in Spring if I don’t get in this time.</p>

<p>I hope to eventually apply to a Masters in Computer Science Program, but I need to fulfill some undergrad requirements…and I really, really want to go to UT.</p>

<p>I’m sorry, but that’s a damn joke that we have to wait until late May. We still have to find places to live once we’ve been accepted.</p>

<p>what’s even more ridiculous is that the other school I am applying to has a deadline of May 1 to accept admittance. So if I reject that school and Texas then rejects me… I’m not going to college anywhere? I am going to call Admissions this week and beg for them to make a decision.</p>

<p>^LOL I like that idea actually. Tell us how it goes.</p>

<p>How out of the question would it be to try and get an application in now?? I have heard of people turning an application in past the deadline. Does anyone know how one would go about that?</p>

<p>I really don’t think they would go for that…Give the admissions center a call.</p>

<p>Alright, I just registered to this forum, because I need to see if I can get some straight answers. I have been hearing mixed things about the UT College of Communication, and what its competitiveness is for transferring in for the Fall 2010.</p>

<p>I am coming from a local community college with a 3.6 with an associates in Business Administration. Initially, I wanted to try for McCombs but I didn’t want to take one course of calculus 2 for one semester to be even considered for admission, so I managed to find a back up plan in UT’s communication dept. I was accepted last semester in their college of undergraduate studies, but decided to finish my associates at my community college. So, what do you guys think? Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>About two weeks ago my status changed to the committee is currently reviewing your application.</p>

<p>same as mine, i called them thinking that it would be soon since its been “reviewed” but they still said late may.</p>

<p>I’m assuming that both of you are already done with the thirty hours right?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.95
44 hours completed.</p>
