Transfer/Internal Transfer questions?

Hey guys, exactly one year ago I was in your shoes anxiously waiting for my decision. I just successfully internally transferred to Moody college of communications. If anyone has questions about the process, just let me know!

What major did you apply, and stat? I got rejected from RTF this semester, which I expected because my GPA isn’t good enough (I have a 3.4)

I applied to RTF this semester with a 3.65 as a external applicant. I have been in review for two months now. Do decisions usually take this long?

@cdctransfer I’m an internal transfer. I got into UT with undeclared major for Fall 2014, my GPA back in the day was 3.5 and I found out in April. After spending a semester at UT I reapplied for RTF and I just received the rejection email a couple days ago.

That must be frustrating! Sorry to hear. I’m nervous but I’m really hoping my background in film pulls me through. How holistic do you think admissions is?

@foafoa

RTF is very competitive, I got in for journalism. I had a 3.7 gpa from my community college and 3.0 from my first. 2 semesters at UT.

Hopefully you find out by July 15

@cdctransfer I have no idea how holistic the admission are, however, consider I was rejected with a 3.4, I think they emphasis very heavy on GPA. Maybe if I have a 3.7 I would have gotten in. I have very little film background on my resume other than a videgrapher internship.
