<p>I am a freshman engineering student, my GPA is 3.1 and I am completing Calc II, physics and chemistry right now. how hard is it to transfer to Austin for engineering. Btw - I am a international student.</p>
<p>Unfortunetly, you have two major roadblocks against you:</p>
<ol>
<li>The average admitted GPA for UT is 3.6</li>
<li>If I recall correctly, more than 80% of accepted students are TX residents.</li>
</ol>
<p>Admission is certaintly not impossible, seeing as how I have no clue where you're at now or how many hours you're taking, holding a job, etc. But without some other significant factor that affects your GPA, I think it will be a far reach.</p>
<p>Best of luck :)</p>
<p>I know I can raise that GPA to at least 3.3. The math and science courses are hard which is why my gpa seem low. btw I go to purdue.</p>
<p>3.6 is the cutoff for UT - Austin, from what an admissions officer told me. Additionally, UT prefers in-state applicants.</p>
<p>May I ask why you want to leave? From what I hear, Purdue has a pretty good engineering program.</p>
<p>If you can bring the GPA above 3.4, you could warrant real consideration, but otherwise, the odds are really against you. I'm going to refer you to a profile of the transfer students in 2005, which states:</p>
<p>Campus-wide average transfer GPA was 3.61; 77.2% of admitted transfer applicants had a transfer GPA of 3.40 or higher.
6,857 students applied for transfer; 2,502 were admitted.
67% of admitted transfer applicants came from 4-year institutions; 33% came from community colleges.
85% of admitted transfer students were Texas residents; 15% were nonresidents. </p>
<p>Hey,
I'm wondering how my chances are since they are waiting for 30 transferable credits from spring semester. I'm from Michigan State University with a GPA of 3.82 with 16 credits. I have about a total of 38 credits including those 16 but the other 22 are high school advanced level courses which UT wouldn't grant credit for. I'm taking about 17 credits this semester and should have a cumulative 3.7 or so. I'm also a texas resident. How do you think my chances are?</p>
