Summer/Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

@decorus yes, I have taken cal 1 and currently taking cal 2. I’ve taken Chem 1, Chem 2, O Chem 1, Bio 1, Bio 2, Statistics, Statistics for Psychology and other core requirements. This semester I’m taking an upper level neuroscience course, O Chem 2, Cal 2, and finishing up the core poli sci. That makes me feel better tho. My ECs are the thing that will really hold me down if anything.

•The University of Texas at San Antonio (Honors College; non-CAP)
•UTSA Fall 2014 GPA: 4.0
Dual Credit Del Mar College GPA (A in Freshman Composition 1 and B in Composition 2): 3.5
UTSA Spring GPA (Expected): 4.0
Currently have 21 hours (including dual credit)
I’m taking Calculus 2, Engineering Physics 1 + Lab, General Chemistry 1, Honors microeconomics, US Hist. Civil War- Present this semester
Top 7% of High School Class
AP Scores: US Government: 5 Physics C (Mechanics): 3 World History: 3 Statistics: 2 (I know this won’t count)
I plan on taking Calculus 3 and Engineering Physics 2 +Lab in the summer at Houston Community College
•Cockrell School of Engineering
•1st - Electrical/Computer Engineering 2nd - Aerospace Engineering
•High quality essays (still revising though)
• 2 Letters of Recommendation (from Calculus 1 Honors Professor and Honors Freshman Seminar Professor)
•High School Environmental Club: 200+ hours
UTSA V.O.I.C.E.S (Fall 2014): 30 hours

@arod356 Your stats look really well. For Cockrell, it is good that you have a 4.0 because engineering and the business school are the top two hardest schools to transfer into. GPA is heavily weighted and you look like you are in good standing. I wish you the best.

@decorus‌ What about my B in composition 2? Will that be a stab in the back?

@arod356 shouldn’t be , your GPA would still above a 3.9 so your solid for the most part , your total GPA should be around a 3.95 or higher ,no need to worry

Chance me for Fall 2015!

Desired Major : ECE in Cockrell

Current School : other UT system school ; Also doing CAP so for the most part UGS is guaranteed

AP credit in hours : 21 hours

Fall 2014 Courses(17 Hours):

-Freshman First Year course
-Calculus 1
-Algebra Based Physics 1
-Algebra Based Physics 1 Lab
-Art History
-Writing Composition II

Final Fall 2014 GPA : 3.94 , All A’s besides an A- in writing composition
Spring 2015 (14 Hours) :

-Calculus 2
-Engineering Physics 1
-Engineering Physics 1 Lab
-Introduction to Literature
-Texas Politics

I will have at minimum 2 rec letters , more than likely 3 or more

HighSchool/College Resume:

im in 4 clubs at the moment in my first year of college:
MSA
FSA
ICA
AIS

Highschool(All the clubs i did , not listing time or position ) :
Debate
Computer Science Team
DECA
MSA
Volunteering School Club
Key Club
Red Cross Club
Over 150+ volunteer Hours
and more…

I also have some work experience but not a lot.

So please chance me or give advice for next semester ; My desire major is Electrical and Computer Engineering, my backup is taking my CAP transfer and going UGS then internally transferring but id rather not waste a semester

Does Dual Credit transfer over? I have 12 hours from dual credit so will they count towards my transfer application and process?

@Kyotoraz‌ Yes dual credit counts. Be sure to send in the transcript from the corresponding college!

UTSA Student, my intended major is something in CNS.

Fall GPA: 4.0
Spring GPA: 3.8 - 4.0

Fall 2014 (16 Hours)
*Statistics (M316, not SDS302)
*Biology I
*Prerequisite Chemistry coures (no credit for UT)
*Sociology I
*American politics

Spring 2015 (18 Hours)
*Freshman Signature course
*Biology II
*Gen Chem I
*Nutrition
*Sociology II
*Texan politics

I am currently a member of two pre-health organizations and am hoping to become a member of a community outreach club, an honors club, and either a science organization or another pre-health. By the end of the year I should have 100+ hours of volunteer service.

I have 200+ volunteer hours from high school involving art clubs, NHS, and pet rescue organizations. I participated in varsity Orchestra for two years and was a National Hispanic Scholar as well.

I realize I don’t have any calculus but I am hoping to take the CLEP test.

  1. Could anyone help chance me please? :smile:
  2. What, if any, majors would I have the best shot at in CNS? I was considering Human Development or Public Health, I want to change my major to biochem/nutrition eventually but for now I just want to be admitted to the school......

I am applying to aerospace engineering as my first choice, and mechanical engineering as my second.

@Chuffer You have great stats! Are you a CAP student or attend a UT System school?

@petitemish‌ Other than the fact that you don’t have the calculus that CNS wants your stats are great. Pretty good chance but have a backup outside of CNS because even if calculus isn’t a “requirement” it certainly plays a big role in your admission process. Good luck!

@Chuffer‌ Amazing stats! May I ask why did you not apply for this spring semester because with those hours you would have been a strong applicant?

I am currently a CAP student at a UT satellite school. I did not apply for the Spring because I am just now taking the Physics I Lab and Calculus II, which are required to gain admissions into engineering.

For the letter of recommendations we just send them in by mail to the admissions office right?

@Kyotoraz‌ I believe you can upload them through MyStatus.

My prof. doesn’t allow me to do it tho. Lolll

@cdctransfer‌ I have all of mine in paper copies so would these work?

@Kyotoraz‌ Either send them to the admissions office or scan and upload them.
