<p>Recomendations:
2 that are good.
One talks about me as a nice person and being persistent and motivated.
One is from my CHEM teacher, he says im good etc, top 2-3% of his students ever and getting one of the highest grades on the American Chemical Society standardized tests, in the history of the school (60/70, where 50 counts as 100%).</p>

<ul>
<li>At least one more that I havent seen and will not see either. Probably will be good and pretty personal.</li>
</ul>

<p>I'd love it if youd chance me! Ta</p>

<p>Im not sure if being an international student effects your application, but assuming it is like a normal transfer student I would say you are in to the school of natural science. I am not sure about buisness. I transfered last year with just a 3.4 and none of the extra stuff you have and made it into the school of nattural sci.</p>

<p>You are in for Natural Sciences. If you try for Business though, it doesn't look likely. If you want to double major, then you'll have to transfer internally. It is entirely doable if you want it. Your GPA starts over when you arrive at UT.</p>
