Transfer out of Texas Tech......chances

<p>I'm a sophmore at Texas Tech University. I'm trying to find a new place to start attending next Fall (2007-2008).</p>

<p>CC = 3.25 GPA
Tech 1st Year = 3.25
Tech 2006 Fall semester = 1.94 (Academic Probation)
Tech 2007 Spring semester = Should easily get my GPA back to a 3.2. I'm retaking classes I did bad in during Fall semester.</p>

<p>I have 37 accumlated hours. I've been working a lot so I haven't gained too many hours. But due to working so much I withdrew from 1 course every semester except this past Fall. And won't be dropping anymore at all.</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting in as a transfer student to schools such as
- University of Texas at Austin ............ My #2 choice. Top notch business school.
- Texas Christian University
- University of Nevada Las Vegas
- Kansas State University
- Syracuse University
- University of Denver ........My #1 Choice - Top notch business school.
- Texas A & M University</p>

<p>Thanks so much guys.</p>

<p>What you'll need to do is figure out your cumulative GPA (which includes the original grades from courses being retaken) and see where you stand. If it's below a 3.0, UT-Austin is probably out of the question (though always worth a shot if you really like the school).</p>

<p>The rest might all be do-able, save A&M and Syracuse, which may want a GPA of at least 3.2 or so. If you can explain the bad semester well, you might still get into these two as well.</p>

<p>Oh ok thanks!!</p>

<p>My cumalitive GPA will be in the range of 3.0-3.2. </p>

<p>I also am very interested in The Ohio State University. Anyone have any info about there transfer admissions? The website says a 2.0 and above if you have more than 30 hours earned so far.</p>

<p>Just remember one thing: if you're a Texas resident, getting into public schools in other states will generally be more difficult for you than in-state applicants.</p>

<p>You could look into UTD and SMU (v. costly), as I've heard they have notable business programs.</p>

<p>I don't mean to be rude, but you will be throwing money at UT-Austin if you are applying to McCombs as an external transfer. Even for in-state applicants, the acceptance rate last year was 17% and the average GPA was around 3.8. While UT does take a holistic approach towards evaluating applicants, as a state school, it focuses heavily on your numbers. Yours will get you cut early on.</p>

<p>I don't really think you'll get into A&M's business school either...you should check their website if you're really interested to find out the acceptance rate and average GPA so as to calculate your chances. </p>

<p>The rest of the schools look very practical to me. Syracuse is probably your highest reach of schools that you have a chance at. For an applicant like yourself, I think essays explaining yourself are going to be the most valuable part of your application and will either keep you out or help you in.</p>
