<p>So I didn't apply to UT Austin because I didn't have the chance of getting in and it was a waste of money and time. I applied to only UH and foolishly didn't write an essay because I knew I was going to get in. But I was rejected. My grades and ECs were weak and I just didn't feel any motivation to apply myself; I was considering not going to college at all. Then, University of Houston offered me the UH-Downtown option. So I planned on going to Downtown for a year and then transfer over to UH's main campus. But I feel like going to downtown is a way of settling and dragging myself along. Their automatic admission for SAT (Cr+math) is 850 and that's not what I studied all those hours in high school for. I understand my grades aren't good but I want to go to a better school. My question is if I attend UTSA and do well, can I transfer into UT even though I wasn't capped? What are the chances? And if I can't get into UT, is it easy to transfer into UH after studying at UTSA for a year? </p>
