Out of State Chances for McCombs

<p>Out of state student:</p>

<p>Class rank: top 2% out of 611
GPA: 4.1 weighted
SAT: 680 Reading 670 Math 670 Writing</p>

<p>I realize my test scores may be low but according to the out of state profile the range is 1830-2090. Are most out of state McCombs students above the 75th percentile? Also if I were admitted to the undergraduate studies program, how difficult would it be to transfer to McCombs? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I’m not sure how the out-of-state students are factored in, but they do generally have much higher statistics. However, compared to the in-state student, you seem to be on par with most students who are accepted! However, if you are out of state, know that you won’t be getting much aid, and that $45-50K COA is the price tag you will have. </p>

<p>Lastly, if you are undeclared, you will be required to complete 24 hours in residence and have completed calc 1, calc 2, macroecon, and microecon. I think you usually need a 3.7+ (although some transers I’ve spoken with said 3.8 is what you really need since so many people want to get into McCombs)</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply texaspride</p>

<p>Looks like I might have a shot but its definitely going to be tough. The the average admitted SAT from the class of 2012 was 1352 and only 54 students came from out of state. </p>

<p>If I were to receive AP credit from macro/micro and calc 1 and 2 would I just have to take other gen ed courses to get that 3.7 or 3.8 GPA? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Yes, since you will have your calculus and economics requirements done, you can take core classes and if you choose so, you can just declare something in CNS (natural sciences) or CLA (liberal arts) as a major and start working on a potential major/minor. But, play it safe, since GPA is all that they go off of for internal transfers!</p>

<p>Good luck and Hook 'EM!</p>
