UCSC to UT Austin Sophomore Transfer for CS

Hi Everyone,

I did a Chance Me for my UMich transfer in a previous post (UCSC to UMich LSA Sophomore Transfer for CS) and wanted to start this one by saying thank you for all the responses!

I’m hoping to do another Chance Me for my transfer to UT Austin as well. I’ll be an out-of-state applicant to UT Austin, so I know that odds are definitely not in my favor as UTA has an 11% OOS acceptance rate for transfers.

Here are my HS stats:

1.) GPA Unweighted: 3.356

2.) SAT: 1500 (Math: 800, Reading/Writing: 700), Best Essay: 20/24

3.) Went to an extremely competitive high school but had relatively decent ECs (Founded a tutoring organization that teaches chess and programming, did a software test engineering internship, did an internship at MathEdge, Secretary of Youth Public Policy Institute)

Here are my UCSC stats:

1.) Current GPA Unweighted: 3.78

2.) 29 quarter units (Summer 2020 + Fall 2020)

3.) ECs: Involved in Google DSC club and doing an independent mathematics/computer science research project.

4.) Ok/Good Essays

5.) Hoping to get an academic recommendation letter from Math and Writing professors
