<p>i’m guessing a 3.63 in molecular biology isn’t that amazing to get into UT? all i keep hearing about is 4.0’s and stuff :/</p>
<p>Not necessarily, Kids worrying about getting in with 4.0s are either paranoid or harboring some other big deterrent on their applications. Having a 4.0 makes you all but a shoe-in.</p>
<p>Having anything above a 3.5 is excellent, 3.65 in Cell/Mol bio is very excellent. There are some tough courses in that curriculum (I am also a Cell/Mol Bio major), though Ive heard UT will prefer you retake/take many of the more advanced courses with them (Organic Chem, Microbio etc) But while a 3.65 isnt a shoe-in, its darned good. And if your transferring in from another Texas school, you should definitely be way up in the running.</p>
<p>How important is a letter of rec? I asked my english professor from last semester to write me one 3 months ago which she said she would, only I found out today she never sent it.</p>
<p>:D why thank you. i hope we both get in! its good to see optimism on boards like these. </p>
<p>How do you think that comes in effect with being out of state? Maybe i do need a 4.0 afterall! :(</p>
<p>lets hope today is the day</p>
<p>The waiting is driving me crazy!!! Why is it taking so long?</p>
<p>they wanna test our patience :P</p>
