<p>I'm applying to to transfer from the University of North Texas. I have acquired 53 hours here with a GPA of 3.337 . I have participated in many organizations including greek life and multiple honor societies. I am from Austin and wrote my essay on how I am a first generation college student who has struggled to excel academically and attend college.</p>
<p>Do you think I have a good shot at getting in?</p>
<p>Depends on your major. Based on what I have been told though you might have a hard time. A 3.4 is good for undergraduate studies (the easiest to get into) but I’m not sure about a 3.34. Honestly GPA is the thing they look the most at. If you are borderline it’s your essays that get you accepted.</p>
<p>I’m not a student of course. I’m a student looking to transfer but based on the research I have done and the people I have asked a 3.34 is kind of iffy.</p>
<p>My major is Spanish. I’ve taken 9 Spanish classes and have received all As except in one class. I just hope I have a good chance of getting in.</p>
<p>Gus, </p>
<p>You don’t have a good chance at getting in. Not saying that this is absolute, but you will be at the bottom of the barrel with that GPA. Your resumes will certainly help you, but a higher GPA would be better for you.</p>
<p>Basically what Propayne7 said. Your GPA is a little on the low side. GPA is what counts most at UT. Resumes and essays will push you off the edge if you are borderline but they aren’t nearly as important as GPA. If I were you I’d have a backup plan (which, in your case, would be UNT).</p>
<p>Also, apply to undergraduate studies as your second choice. You can always internally transfer.</p>
<p>Gus, what makes you want to come to U with a major in Spanish from UNT? </p>
<p>You seem to be doing well at UNT, and I’m not fully aware on the difference in opportunities by a Spanish degree at UT, but I’d recommend staying at UNT, and then looking at UT for grad. </p>
<p>Unless of course you are looking for the prestige of McComb’s or Cockrell. Otherwise, UNT is an excellent school, regardless of what any Longhorn/Aggie/Mustang/Horned Frog/Red Raider will tell you. </p>
<p>If you just have a dream to come to UT, then that is understandable as well and best of luck to you, someone got in with a 3.3 on here, but they claimed to be from a pretty well-regarded Liberal Arts college.</p>
<p>propayne7, </p>
<p>I’m from Austin. I miss my home, my family, and everything I left behind in Austin. There is nothing wrong with UNT, but it is too far. </p>
<p>My dream has always been to attend UT but I always too scared too apply because I wasn’t “smart” enough or stupid excuses. Before it is too late I want to give myself one opportunity to see if faith intends for me to accomplish my dream of being at UT. </p>
<p>Thanks for the advice though, so many of my friends have said the exact same thing.</p>
<p>What are my chances to getting accepted to University of Texas Liberal Arts?</p>

<p>Rhmeyer, your high schools stats aren’t applicable as you will be a transfer. You should be fine with a 4.0 from tech to get intoUT.</p>
