Transferring from A&M to UT-Austin

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey Everyone! I was wondering if someone could perhaps chance me in being admitted into UT. I am currently a freshmen at Texas A&M, and would like to transfer into the College of Liberal Arts with a double major in Government and Economics during Summer Admission.
Texas A&M is a great place, and I have met plenty of wonderful people here, however I do not think it is the right place for me. I always dreamed of being a Longhorn, however I was subsequently CAPPED during freshmen admissions. I appreciate everyone helping me! (For College I am looking at either a 3.45 or 3.625 depending on finals)

<p>Dang, your post was wayyyyyy too long.</p>

<p>UT doesn't consider anything you did during high school (Grades, ECs, etc...) when reviewing transfer applications. </p>

<p>Also, your 15 hours of AP credit doesn't count towards the 30 hours of college credit UT requires, so you still need to complete another semester of college work.</p>

<p>UT's average transfer GPA is a little north of 3.6, but COLA is one of the easier schools to get into, sometimes accepting kids with 3.2s and 3.3s. I'd say that with a 3.45, you'd have a pretty decent shot, say 67%, of being accepted.</p>

<p>If I were you, I'd probably contact someone at UT for more information about the transfer process.</p>
