<p>I am going to be a sophomore BlinnTEAM studen at Texas A&M in the fall with a 3.8 GPA currently, decent extracurriculars (varsity athletics and community service) and very solid essays. I just got rejected on my Fall 2014 transfer app into the College of Education for Sports Management. I am appealing but I doubt it will change anything. My first choice is marketing in mccombs and second is sports management in COE. Is it worth still trying to transfer again in the spring or should I just deal with staying in college station? Also, is it any easier to get admitted into UT if I attend ACC versus BlinnTEAM? I take two classes at TAMU with blinn so I thought it would look better. </p>
<p>@cherrywood109 you’re probably better off switching your second major! A 3.8 is on the lower side for Mccombs, but putting college of education as a second proves tougher to be accepted. Most students transferring put either an undeclared major, UGS, or some type of COLA major as backup. I’m fairly sure a 3.8 would be accepted if you were to change your second major! I would most definitely reapply from Blinn for spring!</p>
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am an undergraduate Sophomore at Sam Houston State University. I am looking to transferring to the College of Undergraduate studies at UT in spring 2015. I am undecided on my major right now but I am interested in medical science (genetics), UT textile and apparel program, and communications. I applied to UGS (undeclared) and CNS (undeclared). Unfortunately, I dropped 3 classes this spring semester. I have 13 A’s, 2 B’s, 1 C, and 3 Q’s.
GPA: 3.70</p>
<p>Letter of Rec: I have one from my Biology professor and one from my and Kinesiology professor (total of two).</p>
<p>I am an in-state student.</p>
<p>I have many volunteer hours from high school and college combined (I got the presidential award my junior year of high school plus some other awards). My hours are 200-300 hours. Additionally, I was involved in many school clubs and played varsity on the tennis team in high school</p>
<p>I am currently in the SHSU Bower’s Honor.</p>

<p>I was also looking for someone to critique my essays.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!!!</p>
<p>Current college is Texas State University</p>
<p>Current GPA is a 3.7, expected GPA after fall is a 3.77</p>
<p>College applied for is COLA</p>
<p>1st choice major is psychology, 2nd choice major is undergraduate studies</p>
<p>I think my essays are pretty good :)</p>
<p>No letters of recommendation</p>
<p>I volunteered at PAWS for a month</p>
<p>Thank you for your help!! :)</p>
<p>@DeeGeeErbear So i should change my first choice to sports management in COE and then do COLA as my second? Also, you don’t think that UT takes any priority on ACC students?</p>
<p>@itsbananas your stats look really great for the UGS major. The C you made and the amount of Q’s you have are concerning, and could hurt your chances towards Another major. You seem like a strong candidate for acceptance into the UGS program! And I don’t mind looking over your essays if you would like to direct message them to me privately!
@CM16 your GPA is certainly high enough for liberal arts, but I strongly advise you to join more clubs and really make sure your essays are fantastic and you believe they’re fantastic, cola doesn’t just accept good GPAs!
@cherrywood109 yes I think that is a better idea to have cola or UGS as a backup. And no they do not prioritize what school you are transferring from! They are all on the same level playing field. </p>
<p>•College transferring from - KC
GPA now 3.19. aiming for 4.0 this semester. Idk my GPA if I get 4.0
32 transferable hours as of now… I’m taking Summer classes = 9 credit hours.
I will be taking 18hrs for this fall. and will be graduating with AS and AA degree.</p>
<p>I’m applying for Nursing.
my 2nd choice is CNS. although I will only have Stats and College Algebra for math. I have lots of Sciences. basically the pre-requisite for Nursing without Micro.</p>
<p>So-So Essay. English is not really my native tongue. but I am a citizen now. TX resident.</p>
<p>I’m trying to get LOR from my A/P teacher. 1 from my DECA advisor, and 1 from my Science teacher in HS.</p>
<p>•list of volunteer/extracurricular activities
200-300hrs of Community service. those are from highschool.
I’ve worked for a year. and uhm that’s pretty much it.</p>
<p>and I am also qualified for Automatic Decision.
since I was in the top 8% of my graduating class back in 2013.
but I really want to get into nursing…</p>
<p>Strawberry, If “KC” is Kilgore College, then you may be eligible for automatic transfer admission - top 10% of high school, 2.5 GPA at a Texas junior college, and completion of core curriculum. <a href=“http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/transfer/before/automatic-admission”>http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/transfer/before/automatic-admission</a></p>
<p>Oops. yeah I meant Automatic Admission decision. but that will only guarantee a spot in UGS… which I dont really want… coz I’m really aiming for nursing…</p>
<p>@DeeGeeErbear how do i message you where no one else can see the message. </p>
<p>Can you tell me a little more about the textile and apparel program and moody college for communications? After completing one semester at UGS I wanted to transfer into one.</p>
<p>@itsbananas I will message you first.</p>
<p>Hey guys, so I am looking to transfer into computer science in CNS at UT Austin. Based on my info below, how likely do you think I am to get in?</p>
<p>I am really scared regarding my chances because I’ve heard that the department is overcrowded and so they aren’t really taking many transfer kids (at least internally they are not, idk what the situation is for externals)</p>
<p>I’m applying OOS (I go to Oregon state university right now). My Current GPA is a 3.92/4.00 (I got 1 A- in a CS class, and 1 B- in a diff CS class, but all my other classes are A’s), but I am taking a class in the summer so it may end up being 3.93/3.94 or something. </p>
<p>My first choice is compsci, my second choice is math, although if I do not get accepted into compsci, I probably wont go regardless of whether i get my second choice or not.</p>
<p>I have not yet written my essays but I am confident that I can write pretty good ones, would appreciate it if someone could critique them though. I am gonna get my rec letters soon, but I will most likely get 1 from one of my computer science teachers, and one from my physics teacher, and possibly another one from one of my discrete mathematics teachers. I have very good relationships with both of these teachers so they will definitely give me good letters. </p>
<p>I was wondering if you can get rec letters from employers also? Because I am sure that my manager at HP would be able to write me a very good letter of recommendation.</p>
<p>My EC’s:
-Internship at Intel as a validation engineer/technician (summer after freshman year)
-Currently interning at Hewlett Packard as a software engineer (for the summer)
-4 years of being on a first tech challenge robotics team in high school, went to national championships twice
-Will maybe have another prestigious internship under my belt at the time that I apply
-Spent a year on my current schools mars rover robotics team (competing in the university rover challenge)
-various other coding / programming side projects (don’t know how much this matters)</p>
<p>Do high school EC’s matter? Cause I have some of those:
-Volunteered in National Honor Society
-Participated in model united nations</p>
<p>@arkarind Computer Science is very difficult to get into, especially for OOS students. Your GPA being a 3.9+ however does give you a chance, so I encourage you to give it a shot. If it is really important for you to be accepted into UT, I would put a COLA undeclared or CNS undeclared if possible, because I’m sure you could get accepted fine into those. Your job experiences are outstanding and notable. Keep up the good work with GPA and be sure to get those recommendation letters, because they can only help! Employers can most certainly write you letters, in fact sometimes they are more impacting than a random professor. High EC’s count most definitely as well. Shoot me a private message if you need help with Essays or need some brainstorm ideas! I’m happy to help.</p>
<p>Hey I didn’t get in this fall 
but I’m thinking of applying spring instead of waiting until next fall because as it looks I’ll have a 3.43 applying in the spring and probably only a 3.5 if I waited until the fall. However I’m a little weary of applying because I fear that there isn’t enough spaces in spring and my gpa is pretty average… Are the odds about the same for spring and fall? PS. I’m most likely going to apply COLA undeclared and UGS @DeeGeeErbear </p>
<p>@StrawberryLover
3.19 won’t cut it for nursing it is super competitive.
Internal transfer is a lot easier trust me</p>
<p>@texasforever13
Your gpa is right on for ugs cola maybe a low reach but I do think you will get in</p>
<p>Fall has a lot more competition/applicants spring is a little easier to get in, because of the lesser amounts of applicants </p>
<p>@135pipe so should I just not try at all?? because the application fee is like 50-70$ that would be just a waste.
internal transfer takes a lot of time… I have to have i think 20hrs+ to transfer internally to Nursing… and I really don’t have time and money to waste on classes that are not necessary. I will be almost core complete after this fall (I just need to take microbiology spring semester) to actually apply for the actual nursing school.</p>
<p>Unless that gpa can be brought up to 3.7-40. Then yes. I don’t want you to waste money or time</p>
