Hello, I just kinda wanted to make a Master Post for prospective Transfer Students to UT Austin. This can be for anyone - potential transfers in Fall/Spring, in 2015/2016 (or further in the future), CAP students, Community College Students, other Transfer Students. Please use this format…
GPA (Current) - (The GPA you have now)
GPA (Prospective) - (The GPA you plan to have before you transfer)
Major(s) - (What is your intended major or majors)
School(s) - (What schools at UT are you planning to look to be accepted to)
Transfer School - (What school are you transferring from)
Hours - (How many hours you’ve taken so far or plan to take before you transfer)
Experience - (Activities such as clubs, work, internships that aid your transfer app)
Extra - (Put anything extra that you feel needs to be noted)
for me:
GPA (Current) - 3.9
GPA (Prospective) - 3.9
Major(s) - Art History or Anthropology
School(s) - College of Fine Arts or College of Liberal Arts
Transfer School - St. Edwards University
Hours - 30+
Experience - Clubs in High school, Group LLC (Involves community service), Working two jobs
Extra - How difficult is it to get into the CFA v. the COLA - what is the minimum GPA for those schools; isn’t it easier to get into these schools versus other colleges? Also are their any internship opportunities for the Art History Majors at the CFA, potentially any that involve museum work.
All in all after you post this if possible could, admitted students or alumni or really anyone who might know the answer, help gauge their chances of getting into the school based on that experience.
