Official Spring 2011 Transfer Thread

<p>So here I am again, attempting to get in as a transfer from HCC.</p>

<p>Since my last application, my GPA has risen which I believe is what UT really looks at.</p>

<p>This past Spring, I applied for Fall 2010 with what my CC had calculated as a 3.57 and I was denied. I found out that UT had calculated my F's and in their eyes, I had a mere 3.26 even after taking 28 hours to boost my GPA.</p>

<p>So I took two summer courses and made A's and now I have a 3.33. I am taking 17 hours this fall and hope to bring it up to around a 3.5.</p>

<p>What are my chances with a 3.4-5 and 73 hours? Do I need to rewrite my essays if my major is still the same?</p>

<p>Regards,

<p>Yea it happened to me too. My GPA was 3.544 in my college but they calculated it at 3.31 (i have no idea how, i didn’t even have any Fs or anything like that)…I’ve raised it to 3.595 now and even if they convert it, it should be way above 3.31 I hope. Do they count AP in the total # of hours or is it just the college credit hours counted?</p>

<p>How do you know how UT calculated your GPA?</p>

<p>I think they didn’t count one of the classes I got an A in and for a Pass/No Pass class, they counted my grade as a C even though that class is **only ** offered as a Pass/No Pass class…that’s the only way I could see my gpa go that low. And since I’m on the quarter system I think they counted my 2 unit as 1 credit, 4 and 5 units as 3 credits although the conversion should be 1 unit = 0.677 credit hour</p>

<p>P.S I know they calculated it as 3.31 because I asked them why I didn’t get in</p>

<p>This just in: Spring 2011 transfer decisions will be posted on the website on Nov 15!</p>

<p>I got in for Chem E at UT. 52 credits. They calculated my GPA as 3.73.</p>

<p>I got in!!!</p>

<p>^ Congrats. What are your stats and major?</p>

<p>Accepted :D</p>

<p>Electrical Engineering. I don’t know how UT calculated my GPA but i think it should be between 3.45-3.51</p>

<p>congratz on getting in guys,</p>

<p>by the way, aridnepenthe what do you mean they cacluated your F’s, did you retake those courses and got better grades but UT still counted them, because im thinking about redoing a course before i transfer but if UT is still going to count it in my gpa then theres really no point</p>

<p>Woahhhhh aridnepenthe!!!</p>

<p>Why did you not tell me this?!?!?!?!?!? Im so happy for you!</p>
