Transferring to UT Austin, chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

<p>Hello! I am a current student at The University of Texas at Dallas and I want to transfer to UT Austin mid-semester for 2014 Fall Season. My current GPA for 2013 Fall is 3.41. I am a Biochemistry major about to transition to Neuroscience major. For 2014 Spring my current GPA is 4.0 and I am 100% positive it will stay at a 4.0. So my cumulative GPA should be around ~3.7-3.8.</p>

<p>My courses:
2013 Fall: 15 hours
General Chemistry I and Lab
Differential Calculus
Behaviorial Neuroscience
Texas Government</p>

<p>2014 Spring: 14 Hours
General Chemistry II and Lab
Integral Calculus
Exploration of the Humanities: Horror Movies
Introduction to Psychology</p>

<p>I am going to be a Neuroscience major. The only question I have is that you need 30 hours of transferrable coursework. Which I only have 29. I am planning to take some courses this summer so that should increase my coursework. Also I have community college hours which should be transferrable as well.</p>

<p>What are my chances into getting into UT Austin? Realistically is this a good investment to make? I currently have a full ride to UTD but I want to follow my dream and go to my dream school UT Austin for better social life and better connections. Obviously I would have to pull loans to pay for UT Austin in the case that I do get accepted. I am planning to volunteer at a hospital this summer, take summer courses, and work full time.</p>

<p>they will not even look at your application if you have less than 30 hours. that’s why they aren’t looking at your fall stuff yet. how many hours of community college work do you have? they also count the grades from your community college work as well as any dual credit courses you took in high school so you might want to factor that into your total GPA. i think it will be a challenge if you have below a 3.6 and are applying for neuroscience. anything can happen though, and i wish you the best of luck. </p>
