<p>So I was denied Fall 2010 admission but I would like to reapply. Is it better to apply for the Spring of 2011 or Fall 2011 as a liberal arts transfer from Houston?</p>
<p>If you have enough credits to transfer and want to get into UT as soon as possible, I would think you might as well try for spring.</p>
<p>Can we use the same essay we used in the Fall 2010 application for the Spring application? I definitely know that my essay wasn’t the reason i didn’t get in for Fall 10.</p>
<p>Good idea. and yes, can we use the same essay?</p>
<p>Ditto on what MidwestMom2Kids_ said. You need 60 hours in residence at UT, so apply for Spring '11. And yes, you can use the same essay(s) if the prompts are still the same (which I think they are).</p>
<p>That’s tight, cuz now my gpa is up and i can get 2 LOR and add some more to my resume and ofcourse i have enough credits to be applicable for a transfer. I hope i get in</p>
<p>I have a 3.33 now and 56 hours. </p>
<p>I am taking 17 this Fall so I will sent in my app by the Spring deadline and then send in my updated transcripts after this semester. I might even be able to take a few winter classes and appeal if I don’t get in this time around.</p>
<p>Do you mean you will have 56 + 17 = 73 credits? Then definitely apply for a spring transfer. Because of the 60 credits in residence at UT rule, you’ll have 133 credits (at least) when you graduate.</p>
<p>I will have 62 credits after fall '10 here at my CC and after giving it careful consideration I decided to transfer in the fall of '11 instead of spring '11 for many different reasons. For one thing it gives me an opportunity to get my foreign language requirements and calculus requirements (I am now planning on applying to the business school and LAC economics) out of the way, as well as allowing me to complete my CC’s two semester accounting sequence. For another thing, I have more time to save up money for college. In addition, I don’t like how a spring transfer gets sort of rushed right into the middle of everything in the middle of the school year.</p>
<p>For my particular situation it makes a difference that the business school only accepts applicants in the fall. My only concern is that if I stay at the CC for one more semester I will only be taking a part-time course load and I’m not sure if that’s something the admissions committee would look down upon. I don’t care about having extra credits or it taking me more time to graduate. It’s extremely common for students to take 5 years to graduate and/or to have well over the minimum amount of credits.</p>
<p>By the way, I would have around 80 credits by the time I transfer and I expect to have at least a 3.95 GPA.</p>
<p>I think you make some valid points. I feel iffy about starting in the Spring as well. I am going to weigh my options a little more before I make a decision.</p>
<p>Starting in Spring has an upside not many people know about - you don’t have to pay the money to reserve your spot as you do with fall admission. It’s not uber expensive, but if you’re on a budget, that can make a difference. Another upside that definitely applied to me is that if you’re a big football fan (like me) you’re learning the ropes without an added distraction. It’s no wonder a lot of the people I’ve met here admit to screwing up their freshman year - new environment, new expectations, distractions (e.g., games and parties) abound.</p>
<p>Don’t let the 60 hours in residence deter you unless you are at 100 or so. I transferred in 72, but based on my major and pre-med track, the 60 hours won’t be a problem. Granted, if I dropped the pre-med I could theoretically graduate sooner and then the in-residence requirement would be an issue, but most people I’ve met who transferred with a lot of credits have been in the same situation that what they have left to complete for their degree still brings them over that 60-hour hump.</p>
<p>How does 73 hours with a 3.5 GPA look?</p>
<p>Which is the easiest major in College of Natural Sciences to get into as a transfer? And does it make it harder to transfer if we put undeclared for Sciences?</p>
<p>Since I’ve taken classes like Math, Physics, Chem should i put my second choice as COLA since it’s easier to get into or would it hurt my chances since I only have science classes with the exception of 1 History class?</p>
<p>Going to pick up my transcript and drop it off at the Houston Admissions Center today. </p>
<p>I haven’t paid my application fee yet, will all of my old documents (high school transcript, resumes, and essays) show up on status check once I do so?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Does having College of Natural Sciences - Undeclared make it harder to get in as a transfer than choosing a major?</p>
