I’m currently a CAP student at a UT Branch school and may potentially get a D in one of my classes which would not allow me to transfer automatically to UT-Austin in the fall. I should end up with a 3.52 GPA and 31 hours and looking for some places I could potentially transfer to for the fall or for the spring semester.
Some stats
College GPA- 3.52
Hours- 31
Major- Finance/Economics
State- Texas
ACT-26
SAT (M+CR)- 1150
HS GPA- 3.3
Top 40% of my HS
Looking to spend under $30,000 a year for total cost of attendance.
Right now my options are
A) Stay at my current branch campus (not known well at all for business)
B) Transfer to the University of Houston (business major)
C) Go to Austin Community College
The thought of staying at my branch campus or going to a CC does not really sound appealing to me so I’m just looking for potential destinations
Go meet with the transfer advisor at your CC. That person’s whole job is to help students find good places to study. You won’t be the first person in this situation to walk through their door this week.
Any way that class could be a C, not a D?
An issue is that transfer applications are past deadlines now…
Look at the NACAC list

Syracuse and Penn State still admit transfers, and have excellent business schools… but I don’t know whether they’d have financial aid/whether those would be within budget.
Check out these universities with good campus life, good business, and within budget:
Appalachian State (North Carolina)
UNC Wilmington
UNC Greensboro
UNC Charlotte
(The first two >>> the last two)
Christopher Newport
George Mason
James Madison
Randolph Macon
Roanoke
U Alabama Tuscaloosa
Southern Mississippi
USC-Aiken
USC Columbia
UTampa
Stetson (FL)
Rollins (FL)
FAMU
In Texas those universities match your profile (selectivity + business + costs):
Southwestern University
U North Texas
TCU
UT Dallas
@MYOS1634 With the exception of the schools in Texas I couldnt afford most of those. I’m looking for 30k max for total cost of attendance, not just tuition. Thank you though!
Have you run the NPC for each of them ? is your family’s efc much higher than 30k - what is it ?
@MYOS1634 I havent run NPC’s since I have a college fund that can afford up to 30k per year for 4 years
Well, that’s the first thing you should do. They may not be accurate since you’re a transfer but at leadst you’d cross them out based on actual data.
In addition, what about grade repair for that one class? Would the University you were scheduled to transfer to accept that ?
