<p>My younger sister had applied to UT Austin College of Liberal Arts for transfer for the Spring 2012 semester. She has a GPA of 3.81 and has taken 31 credit hours (15 over the summer and Wharton Junior College, and 16 this past Fall semester at ACC). She completed her application submission on time and UT received her final transcript on December 19th. Her application status said it was "Completed" thus meaning they received all the documents needed, however, on the 22nd of December, her application status was changed to "Declined." There was no email or letter that stated a decision was made or giving reasons as to why she was declined admission. </p>
<p>She has asked a few of her friends who are also transferring and their application has not even been reviewed yet. With her high GPA, I expected her to be admitted without a problem. Is there any way that this was just an error? The registrar is on winter holiday right now and won't be back until the 3rd of January, therefore, we can't get in contact with them anytime soon. I am getting worried for her so any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Wasn’t the transfer deadline October 1st? But if you mean you sent all her stuff before October 1st, and the final transcript only was on the 19th… I have no idea why she would be rejected so fast. </p>
<p>Did all her hours transfer over? I know UT doesn’t accept credits for certain courses at other colleges.</p>
<p>Call them and ask what the problem is. And I’m really sorry about it. That totally sucks.</p>
<p>are any of her 30 credits AP hours? if they are, she needs to send a paper transcript to UT. I’m in the same situation as 7 of my 32 hours are from AP tests, which didn’t show up on my electronic transcript. Ut didn’t receive my transcript until the 19th and that same day I was denied which i thought was weird because how could they have made a decision within a few hours? i called the admissions customer service and they said that they had only received 25 of my hours so its most likely that UT didn’t receive all of her 30 hours.</p>
<p>The transfer hours do not have to be “graded” hours, thus AP credits will suffice, although they need to be claimed credits so that they will show up on the transcript from whatever school you are transferring from.
(You technically receive “credit for credit”, in that UT accepts the course from your transfer school for which the AP credit originally gave you hours).</p>
<p>The OP would do well to contact admissions to ensure the application was not dismissed on a technicality. It is possible base requirements were not shown completed on the application.</p>
<p>This must be new because I transferred in this fall 2011, and I was forced to have 30 “graded” credit hours apart from the AP credit I earned in high school. You should really call and ask about that.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help guys! She turned in everything by the deadline so she wasn’t late on any of her documents. She took basic core classes like history, English, government,…etc. </p>
<p>She did have one AP credit and it transferred over to ACC and was recorded on the transcript she sent to UT when applying. She also sent them the AP scores and a copy of her High School Transcript just to be safe. </p>
<p>If there was some problem with her application or her documents that could be easily fixed, do y’all think she could still have a chance at getting in? Would they be willing to let her continue on or is the decision completely final once it’s been posted? She has been checking the mail daily for a letter from UT about the decision but we still haven’t received anything…maybe there is still hope?!</p>
