Summer/Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

I’m in the same boat. I had a 3.8 last semester (15 hours) and I just finished my last final and I will have a 3.7 (18 hours) I had 5 classes last semester (4As and 1B) and this semester I have 6 classes (5As and 1B) the trick is though that that 1 B is in a 4 hour class. Will this be bad because GPA wise it isn’t a positive trend even though I technically got more As?

I honestly do not think that you need to worry about smaller changes in GPA, as long as it’s not a drastic change or you fail a class. I was accepted to A&M and I think I needed to get something like a 2.5 GPA to ensure my admission. I know they are different schools and that UT is more competitive, but I doubt the policies are too different.

@MyUTAustin Transferring with 60hrs. (and associates) from cc
First choice: Moody/PR

Non-traditional student with 17 years work experience.
Very little extracurricular activity.
Full and part time job and part time at cc.
I really think it’s maybe 50/50 for me to be accepted, I’ve already been accepted to Texas State, I am just wondering if should keep waiting or cut my losses and move on. Any opinions?

@iaintpunchy , added to the list, will post it soon. That’s a heck lot of an experience you got there. I’m surprised they have kept you waiting still. You are in for sure, pray for me please :wink:

@MyUTAustin prayers on the way. Thanks for your time!

I’m in a similar situation @iaintpunchy. I’m not sure if years of work experience will help us…but we can only hope. Otherwise it’s off to Texas State for me as well.

Is the Mystatus page is down for anyone else, giving me an error: Server Error (500)

Same here, I’m getting a server error as well. Reloading doesn’t fix it.

Yupp… Error here as well

It’s up again for me… but still in review. -.-

@summeroo Yeah same here

The system just came online, no change in status at all…

Guys I finally heard back from them… FROM ENGINEERING.

They told me my application was still in review.

Can a 3.93 be competitive for PetE?

I hate that we got some acceptance mid April as expected and they’ve been insanely slow since then. Why must they taunt us? On one hand I feel that there were a lot more than normal, but didn’t they recognize that during the time span in which they accepted transfer admissions? -.-

@yoohoos very sad to say , but i don’t think so unless you got like 5 rec letters and amazing essays and extracurriculars. for Pet E since they have so little spots , a 4.0 is practically a requirement, however you may get luck , so keep some hope and good luck

Has anyone heard when we get our financial aid award letters?

Good luck @UTEECEperson , we’ll get out of this review season soon:)

@Yoohooos , it’ll be very very close as PetE is highly competitive. I’m in the same boat as you and looking for ChemE with 3.934, same as your GPA. Good luck to both of us:). My essays were really good and very very focused on ChemE.

i have been expecting mine too! They said by the end of May

They are so fxxking slow !!!
