Transfer to McCombs

<p>I am currently a freshman at Texas A&M looking to transfer to UT next fall. I would like to transfer into McCombs School.
I currently have a 4.0 GPA, and will have 30 hours of transferable coursework complete by the end of this semester. I have participated in community service and am involved in a few organizations here at A&M, and I know a few professors that will write me letters of recommendation. My concern is that their website says that you need Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Microeconomics, and Macroeconomics. I will have 3 out of 4 of those classes done by the end of this semester; the only class I will not have done is Calculus 2. Will that hurt my chances of getting into McCombs, or will they allow me to take that class next year? How are my chances overall? I am prepared to use Liberal Arts as a second choice and transfer to McCombs internally (if absolutely necessary), although my concern with that would be that my graduation would be delayed unless they let me take business courses while not in McCombs. I am looking to get into Accounting by the way.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m at UT and attempting the same thing as you are. </p>

<p>First, McComb’s only admits in the fall, which means you can only apply in the spring. You can also not have more than 90 credit hours when you apply.</p>

<p>Second, the prerequisites are non-negotiable. No Calculus, no admittance. Come to UT into COLA if you would like, or you can stay in AggieLand until next spring after you have completed all of the prereqs and apply to McComb’s then. So long as you keep above a 3.6, you should be good.</p>

<p>Ah. Well, that’s OK, I will probably transfer to UT this fall (COLA), work really hard, maintain my 4.0, and then transfer to McCombs internally. I absolutely hate it here at A&M.</p>

<p>The fall semester is definitely going to be necessary, because UT requires 24 hours in-residence if you are going to internal transfer into McCombs. I’d recommend taking some GPA-boosting courses and getting Eco 420K(microeconomic theory) out of the way, as I believe Accounting and Finance require it.</p>
