<p>Hi, I am considering UT-Austin as a number one choice for school right now.
But I am considered out-of-state (because I only lived in Texas for two years-requirement is 3 for in state), non of my AP's count because they are all 3's, and I haven't got the major that I wanted. So do you think it is worth it to go to UT-Austin Undergrad and get transferred to McCombs? and is it really hard to get transferred in to the McCombs School of Business?</p>
<p>It is much easier to transfer internally within the school to McCombs. But it is one of the harder schools to get into. I believe it is worth it because you are guaranteed a job when you graduate and I just believe UT is awesome. If your considering Texas schools it is definitely the best. If you transfer to McCombs just be sure to have all four indicator courses and a high GPA and I’m sure you’ll get in!</p>
<p>They did mention that McCombs and the Engineering schools were the hardest school to get into, and also getting a transfer was competitive.
I did not realize that to be considered in-state, you had to live in Texas for 3 years. I read somewhere that you had to be a resident for a year.</p>
<p>@Schoolgirl7866: yes I have heard. Last year only 67% of the internal transfer students got accepted in. I am just scared that I would not get in and end up with out a major in the end…:(</p>
<p>@lousyanamom: well you only become a resident if you pay taxes and work. for educational purposes you only become a resident if you live in state for 3 years.</p>
<p>It maybe easier to get into a liberal arts program versus Business school, but then if you are unable to transfer to business school then you maybe stuck in whatever major.
I am not very keen on my son doing a liberal arts degree at a place as big as UT.</p>
