<p>@Borb & @DebGomez: It is “rolling” admission so they should take it ASAP. Last year it took them 3 weeks at the longest with most people getting their decisions the last week of May. Most of us should be hearing back by next week I think.</p>
<p>@longhornhelp: Just get that GPA as high as possible and beg your ass off in those essays. If its more than like 10 years ago or something I think they’ll disregard it. I THINK.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot AndreB for the information!</p>
<p>Thanks AndreB
It wasn’t ten years ago unfortunately. More like a year and a half ago. I am applying for the College of Communications the Radio TV Film Major specifically. I don’t know if that will help or not thinking that maybe not a lot of students apply for that major. I really turned myself around so I am hoping they can see that. What happens if i simply do not list those schools? Is there any way they can find out if put a FERPA block? I don’t know exactly what that is but I was reading a tread and it seems students get away it. But then I know I will always have a guilty feeling of not telling the truth. Please help me!</p>
<p>Hi Longhornhelp.
I have been accepted as a transfer to the to Communications with an RTF major and I hate to be a downer but actually the RTF program and communications in general is one of the hardest schools to get into. The RTF program alone is very competative. If your grades are not the best I would suggest that you focus on making your essays stand out prove to them that you can be an asset to UT. Be honest, tell them if something happened and how you were able to turn it around. Since Communications only accepts transfers in the fall that gives you two semsters to work on your GPA. I was told by admissions that a 3.5 is considered competative. I would try to get straight A’s for the next two semsters and that should be a good bump. </p>
<p>Here’s what UT’S website says about GPA…
GPA is computed by dividing the total number of grade points by the total number of semester hours pursued. (Credit hours and grade points earned on the quarter system carry 2/3, or .66, the numerical value of those on the semester system.)
You won’t obtain transfer credit for courses in which you earn a grade of D+, D, D-, or F. However, if the course would normally be eligible for transfer, it will be used when your GPA is calculated.
If you repeat a course in an effort to raise your grade, each instance in which you took the course will be counted when your GPA is computed. However, transfer credit for the course may be counted in the total number of transferable hours only once.</p>
<p>Hope this helps Good Luck and I hope you can join RTF next year :)</p>

<p>Accepted CAP student, took them about a week after receiving all my documents to update the web page.</p>
<p>my status just changed to
“We’ve received all the items needed to review your application for admission.”
I sent various transcripts to UT, since my school messed up on a few. Since there is no mention of “incomplete 30 hours” can I assume that the transcript they have has my 30 hours on it?</p>
<p>Also my stats are:
Incoming Sophomore
31 hours from UT Dallas
3.87 gpa
1st choice - Advertising</p>
<p>Would it be possible that my major could already be filled up?</p>
<p>Good luck to you all :)</p>
