<p>ok so i'm a texas resident but i'm a freshman at LSU. my dad is sick of paying out of state fees so he wants this to be my last year LSU.
bad news...
i sucked my first semester!!! i got swine flu and got c's in three of my classes because i couldn't perform to the best of my ability (swine flu sucks!!).
my major is biology.
GPA 2.5 :(
one letter of rec for note taking for disabilities</p>

<p>i'm planning on busting my butt this semester, but if i get a 4.0 this spring semester my final GPA will be a 3.2 :(
i know i can do better i just wish i hadn't gotten sick!!!!
btw does the second semester grades count? (i hope so)
and also does summer classes count? ( i doubt it, just in case i plan on retaking some classes)
anyways i plan on getting another letter of rec this spring semester for note taking.</p>

<p>so what are my chances of getting into the college of natural sciences at UT-Austin?</p>

<p>thanks for the help, and sorry for the long note.</p>

<p>I’m in the EXACT same boat as you for UT Austin, except I’m just coming from a different school.
Please Chance!</p>

<p>To be honest, it will be a reach based on your GPA, since UT-Austin transfer admissions are almost entirely GPA based. </p>

<p>If you have a high SAT score, that might help you out some.</p>

<p>it says they don’t check SATs for transfers</p>

<p>My bad. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>is the GPA good enough for the college of natural sciences?</p>

<p>Natural Sciences is an open college along with Liberal Arts, so they are typically the easiest colleges to transfer to. However, a GPA of 3.2 is borderline, as most applicants and transfers have a 3.5+ So realistically, your chances aren’t great. But do give it a shot!!!</p>
