<p>Hi, i am a hopeful OOS UT applicant and had some questions. I applied to the college of liberal art to help my chances of getting in, but with the intention of transferring to McCombs. Is it true that internal transfers are really difficult at UT?</p>
<p>I am trying to do the same thing. Honestly I hear it is extremely difficult, but they do let people in. I struggled with Calculus and I am not certain of my acceptance.</p>
<p>Business is one of the most competitive colleges at UT and internal transferring into it is very hard. Go to this webpage:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/BBA/Prospective/Statistics”>http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/BBA/Prospective/Statistics</a></p>
<p>Click the “Freshman Profile and Transfer Statistics” tab. Scroll down towards Internal Transfers. You’ll see something like this:</p>
<p>Internal Transfers 2013 2012 2011
Acceptance Rate 72% 67% 71%
Number of applications487 436 378
Number of admitted 349 262 269
Mean Earned UT GPA 3.7 3.7 3.8
Minimum UT GPA for Admissions 3.5 3.5 3.5</p>
<p>You need a 3.5 just to be elligible to apply. I don’t know if the Mean Earned UT GPA is for the applicants or the accepted people. I also don’t know what they go off of after GPA.</p>
<p>Thanks. Another question, say i get accepted in liberal arts and in march when we can ask to move to another major and i get rejected for the new major will i still be able to continue with liberal arts or no?</p>
<p>Yes. You are a Liberal Arts student applying to transfer into something else. You have the option of applying to add that major you are transferring into (Double major) or to have it be your new major and replace your current major. You don’t lose your current major upon being rejected. You only lose your current major if you request for a transfer to be your new major and you successfully get the transfer.</p>
<p>Should I expect similar statistics for engineering (specifically the GPA of external transfer admits)?</p>
<p>I previously saw some engineering internal transfer statistics but I never looked up or found out anything about external transfers since I was already at UT. I don’t remember precise numbers off the top of my head but I remember the easiest engineering to get in (I think it was Civil Engineering) did not accept below a 3.3 one semester. Some did not accept below a 3.5, some didn’t accept below a 3.7, some didn’t accept below a 3.9, and one didn’t accept any. It’s probably similar difficulty compared to transferring into business. The acceptance rate for engineering would be a lot lower since the gpa requirement for engineering (internal transfer at least) is a bit lower than the business gpa requirement despite the fact that they don’t really accept people at the minimum requirement often.</p>
