<p>I recently graduated with a BBA in Business Admin from a decent state school in Texas. I'm wanting to transfer to the Univeristy of Texas and get a second bachelors in computer science. It would be a smooth admission process but my GPA is terrible, it is a 2.4 overall. I assume this would be a massive hurdle, but is it a complete killer as far as getting accepted?</p>
<p>I have no excuse for the GPA other than the fact that I hated my major and had no desire to study or pre form well. I didn't even buy books or attempt to read the matrial in most classes. I hated it. My commute really killed it as well, I lived two hours away with 8am classes and a full time job at home. I wasn't able to fully participate in study groups and all that. I know it's no excuse but I am going to cover it in my essay. </p>
<p>Do I have a shot? I earned the degree easily, no academic probation or anything like that. I just had a lot of Cs and Bs with a lot of extra credits/hours that I didn't need, so any movement in GPA was minimal. </p>
<p>I know Texas is competitive and has a relatively tough admission process, but I basically have to go there due to economic reasons. I have family and friends who live there which would allow me to have very low rent. I also have jobs lined up. </p>
<p>Am I wasting my time? Would I get automatically rejected? Would speaking with and admissions councilor help?</p>
