<p>What are my chances????</p>
<p>I'm just stressed at the difficulty transfering in I've heard about.</p>

<p>I believe UT sets aside 10% of its transfer class for OOS students, just like regular freshman admissions. What's your intended major? I think you'll get in with a 4.0.</p>
<p>I plan to major in the college of communications...public relations.. also im going to do pre-med... what are the most important aspects to getting in with the exception of the obvious GPA?? is there anything more that i could do besides what i already posted??</p>
<p>Um...they don't require them, but if you've got good test scores send them in. They will still look at them and they can help. Send in some letters of recommendation along with a resume. I don't think the College of Communications has any prerequisites, but you may check the website just in case. I also don't think it's super competitive, so I think you'll get in.</p>
<p>A 4.0 is very impressive...</p>
<p>but if for some reason i dont get into the college of comm., i will be reviewed for liberal arts still right? are you a student at UT? if so, what are you majoring in? etc...</p>
<p>I am a Texas resident that'll be applying to McCombs this coming year, so I'm pretty familiar with UT stuff...</p>
<p>They do have a section where you check a first-choice major and second-choice major. If your second-choice major is in the college of liberal arts, then you should definitely not have a problem getting accepted.</p>
<p>so you are applying for the fall 07'? i am too, the questions i was asking was for my friend who is also interested in going to UT.. I will be applying for mccombs as well..</p>
<p>Oh so you're going for McCombs....that changes a lot. It's the most competitive school to transfer into. Here's some stats for OOS transfers:</p>
<p>Non-residents (2005)
Applicants: 150
Admitted: 7</p>
<p>Transfer rate for OOS is about 4.6% which is probably lower than Wharton. Here's a link:</p>
<p>and it's at the bottom of the page.</p>
<p>Definitely make your second-choice major not within McCombs. For me, I'm applying to Finance 1st, Economics 2nd. Good luck...and I'd definitely look into some other business schools like Stern in particular, because it has a 28%rate and is much easier to get into OOS than UT since it's private.</p>
<p>I hear a lot about how hard it is to get into the various UT colleges, but what about the College of Liberal Arts? My son plans to list Natural Sciences as his first choice, and he's not sure yet about his second choice. My understanding is that those who don't get their first choice automatically get considered for Liberal Arts. What are the stats there as far as acceptance? He is in-state and will be applying as a transfer student for fall 2007, with 36 hours and probably about a 3.8 or 3.9 GPA. He was homeschooled and enrolled at SAC (community college) in 10th grade. Technically he is supposed to be 12th grade this year but I graduated him so that he could continue taking classes at SAC, since he maxed out the dual credit. I'm wondering whether it's even necessary to have a backup plan! (He is ok with Liberal Arts if he doesn't get Natural Sciences - he may decide on Linguistics anyway.) Any tips or advice is appreciated!</p>
<p>OK, here is my second question: My son has not taken the SAT since I was told he doesn't need it as a transfer student. The admissions officer told me that UT definitely does NOT look at SAT scores for transfer admissions. But, if he lists it and it's good, will that help? And, he MIGHT want to try for PLAN II, in which case he DOES need the SAT. So, if he takes it and does not score in the stellar regions, will that HURT his chances at acceptance? Can we just opt to ignore the score, or does it automatically show up on a database? He will probably do great (he did well on the PSAT) but, being the computer programmer that I am, I tend to look at ALL the possibilities. Thanks!</p>
