Recommendations for Transfer Application

[thomasc93]

<p>Hi, everyone!</p>

<p>I'm a sophomore at the University of S. Carolina and I would like to transfer to UT.</p>

<p>I've submitted my app and it's technically complete. However, I would like to increase my chances, so I will be submitting some recommendations.</p>

<p>I'm gonna get one written by my Russian professor. I also thought about my HS German teachers (as they know me very well and would give me great recommendations), but I'm not sure if this would be appropriate. Normally I would think it not to be appropriate, but for the required resume, they wanted all academic and extracurricular activity to be listed (which for me includes high school).</p>

<p>So what do you guys think? Would it be okay to have recommendations submitted from high school teachers for a transfer app?</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>They will not be interested in HS letters. Also UT places recs on their lowest list for considering an applicant; letters are generally considered as a plus to get you in. Also we need to know your GPA, number of hours taken/in progress.</p>
