Transferring into UT Austin Help

So I’m planning on attending the University of Arkansas my freshman year, but I want to transfer to UT Austin my sophomore year. I’ve heard it’s very difficult to transfer into UT though, so I’m kinda scared. I’ve been accepted into the Honors College at Arkansas, but I don’t think I’m going to take honors classes because I want to keep my GPA up since I’m only planning on attending for a year. Any thoughts on this and what it takes to transfer into UT would be helpful. Thank you!
