<p>I want to transfer to Texas from a community college, is it true that I have a better chance of getting into Texas if I attend ACC? Or will I have the same chance if I stay closer to home my 1st sememster.</p>
<p>And I want to study Sports Managment/Sports Marketing. Do they have a good program?</p>
<p>thanks for the help,
kyndal</p>
<p>UT doesn’t care where you transfer from. all they care about is GPA. GPA is by far the most important factor.</p>
<p>They have a really good business school (almost in any field of study)…I’ll be attending this fall. And like topawala20 said, GPA and the completion of as much of the 5 indicator courses (look on their website for transfer students) are the two most important factors in admission.
Oh … and Heard most people fail financial and managerial accounting courses at UT so you might wanna take those if you have room and if they transfer in successfully …just an opinion b/c I did that.</p>
<p>okay thanks so much. i already have 29 hours, but I do need to check which ones transfer.
Oh okay well what classes did you take?</p>
<p>one thing to note here is that mccombs has fall admissions only. so you can’t transfer into mccombs in the spring.</p>
<p>and by the way what’s your GPA right now?</p>
<p>ohh alright well thank you i did not know that.</p>
<p>well i have a 3.345 & i know i need to bring that up.</p>
<p>well with that GPA you have no chance for mccombs. i don’t even know if you would get into liberal arts with that GPA. you need to bring it up to a 3.5 for liberal arts and mccombs you would need around 3.8 to have a decent chance.</p>
<p>you could try to get into mccombs internally. you need 24 hours at UT and 4 indicator classes (Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Cal 1 and Cal 2) and GPA of 3.6-4.0(higher the better).</p>
<p>yes im planning on taking more classes either near home, or at acc. in order to achieve my full 30 hours, & bring up my gpa</p>
<p>i know i have a lot of work ahead of me. But I heard that Texas has a nice Sports Managment & Marketing Program so I am using it as a top pick for my college choice.
If you know any other schools that have a better program could you please let me know?</p>
<p>HOLY! 3.8!? to at least have a chance!?</p>
<p>yep with a 3.8 you have a good chance of getting in but it’s not guaranteed. if you look at the historical data average GPA for external transfer is around a 3.9 for mccombs.</p>
<p>well topwalla, i got in with a 3.63 out of liberal arts. those that have taken calc I and II plus micro and macro are given preference over those that haven’t when you’re on the border line like i was.</p>
<p>RebelYell2008 were you already a UT student before you transferred into McCombs? topawala is referring to external transfers.</p>
<p>it says on the internal transfer page that UT doesn’t discriminate between internal transfer students, i.e., if one applicant with a 3.7 from po dunk community college and a UT student with a 3.5 applies, than the one from the CC gets preference over the UT student due to the higher GPA. there is no distinction between resident/in resident students.</p>
<p>RebelYell2008, i think you are completely misinformed about transferring into McCombs. There are only 3 ways you can get into McCombs either as freshmen, internal transfer or external transfer. I am not gonna get into freshmen because i simply don’t care about freshmen admission and don’t know much about it. </p>
<p>With external transfer, they accept around 90 people each year give or take. In external transfer, they don’t care where you transfer from. All they look at is your GPA.</p>
<p>Internal transfer is for people already at UT in another major and they want to change their major to business. They accept about 300 students and around 450-500 people apply to McCombs for internal transfer. And the way the admission process works is they just put everyone in order by GPA and they have a cutoff GPA. If your GPA is above the cutoff, then you are into McCombs. So anything above a 3.6 should get you in as long as you meet the prerequisites which was the case for you.</p>
<p>Just make sure you don’t get stuck in General Studies or any other different major at UT other than business if you can’t get your GPA high enough or not able to transfer internally into McCombs. There is a maximum number of hours you can have before you can transfer internally so check that and other other requirement on McCombs website ahead of time.</p>
<p>and that magic number is 90 hours. as long as you have 89 hours, then you are good but once you hit 90 hours, then you are screwed. lol</p>
