<p>how hard is for an instate CC student to transfer to UT Austin Engineering? What GPA should i aim for? Is it even possible?</p>
<p>You should look at the College of Engineering's page on UT's website. To give you an idea, there are a decent number of people that transfer to UT from my CC every semester, though a 3.6+ is typical of the successful applicant. Engineering is different from the College of Liberal Arts. As far as I know, McCombs is the most difficult school to transfer into and usually accepts around 15% of applicants: last year, 17% with an average GPA of 3.78. I believe Engineering is the second most difficult school to gain acceptance into (besides Plan II), so you can expect an acceptance rate between 20/30% and a 3.7 or so to be the average admitted student's GPA, though official information would be more helpful than my speculative analysis.</p>
<p>does it make easier if i transfer as sophomore or junior?? i personally don't want to spend 2 years at a CC. i intend to transfer as a sophomre.</p>
<p>Whether or not it is easier is dependent on your HS stats and how well you do at your CC. If you have awful HS stats, a longer stay at your CC gives you a better track record with which to gain entrance to UT. You can always apply as a sophomore and, if rejected, apply again as a junior. Might as well, but if you do plan on applying now, the deadline is March 1st.</p>
<p>nah, i am high school senior. i dont have awfull stats but their mediocre. i can get accepted at UTD but they only have computer and electrical engineering. thats why i am considering the cc route.</p>
<p>Well that's good that you're already planning things out. I don't know for sure, but I believe transferring from a CC to the UT/A&M system is easier than transferring between schools because the state likes to favor CC students.</p>
<p>yea i was thinking the same thing.</p>
