OFFICIAL UT AUSTIN APPEAL THREAD/ WAIT-LISTED APPLICANT

<p>@ElectricFlux‌ I’m not sure if you’ve been following along on the Fall 2014 Transfer thread, but I’ve read that even people with 3.9-3.99 are being rejected from Engineering.</p>

<p>Yes it’s crazy it is full but
@123456B‌ be a little gentle please :wink: </p>

<p>@135pipe‌ Just being honest.</p>

<p>I totally understand</p>

<p>@ElectricFlux‌ I am also an engineering major who was rejected and I am appealing as well. I am hoping to be accepted to UGS (which was my second choice). What did you say in your appeal? One of my grades on my transcript was incorrect so my GPA is higher than it was when they denied my transfer app. </p>

<p>@carissadean‌
Any new word it’s been quiet on your end just making sure everything is ok
@ElectricFlux‌ did you appeal?</p>

<p>@135pipe Not yet, if you can believe it! I finally contacted the transfer admissions department and ended up going in in-person to speak with one of their advisers. She had to look over some paperwork and asked me to come back in today, which I did. Still no decision, but she said she will call me by the end of the week to let me know what is going on. This whole process has been such a nightmare, I can’t even believe it. I already live in Austin, so literally my whole life is riding on this. Dreading the phone call and also excited for it. We will see!</p>

<p>Really I believe you have a great chance I pray that they admit you man. Fingers crossed good luck man</p>

<p>@135pipe Thank you! I am taking all the positive vibes I can get! I’ll post in here when I find out :-SS </p>

<p>\m/ </p>

<p>So my appeal is finally completed, I’m just waiting for a response. I appealed because I had less than 30 hours due to a medical emergency. I completed the last 3 hours in a minimester and my GPA is a 3.6 :slight_smile: Hopefully it all works out. I applied for Psychology and UGS. 3 LOR’s, 2 good essays, a doctors note, and good resume :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Good luck girl you got this </p>

<p>So I am super excited to say that after weeks of struggling with the transfer admissions office and crossing my fingers and praying for good news - I got accepted this afternoon to the Linguistics department! I paid my deposit almost immediately and signed up for the only open orientation (July 14-15)! I am seriously SO psyched. See you guys in the fall!!! \m/ </p>

<p>Yesssss just saw this busy with orientation it was awesome go to everything possible. Especially longhorns beneath the surface.
Congrats again man</p>

<p>Ahhhhhhhhh @carissadean‌
Pm me your Instagram so I can follow you lol</p>

<p>My appeal just went into review :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Good luck^^^^ fingers crossed </p>

<p>My appeal was just accepted! I originally applied with a 3.934 GPA to Computer Science with Computer Engineering as a second choice and was denied. I then appealed and asked to be reconsidered for Psychology, and it actually went through! </p>

<p>Yessssss another successful appeal.
This is the year of appeals
Go horns</p>
