<p>Hi! I'm currently a high school senior and I'm planning on attending a community college for a year or two before attempting to transfer to UT as a physics major. How difficult do you think this would be? (I.E. , what kind of GPA/EC do you think I would need to be competitive?)</p>
<p>I know someone who transferred in with a 3.4 from a community college. It was into Biology but I don't think that would be too different. Also, I would focus more on grades than ECs since UT seems very much more concerned with your grades than anything else.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>3.8 GPA and 1 EC would most likely get you in.</p>
<p>As far as I'm aware, if you are admitted to the University, both the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Natural Sciences are 'open' colleges, meaning that you can enter those colleges assuming admission to the greater university. (Natural Sciences is trying to change that, but it has not come to fruition yet.)</p>
<p>Would this mean that I can change my major to chemistry or biology easily? I am admitted to the University of Texas under the Cockrell School of Engineering (Electrical Engineering). I want to change my major to either chemistry or biology. What is the process that I should take right now? Should I submit a request now or wait until summer orientation?</p>
<p>I visited UT yesterday and they said their most competitive programs like engineering, architecture, business, etc. are the most difficult to transfer into, but their largest departments, liberal arts and natural sciences are definitely easier to transfer into.</p>
