<p>The average GPA for McCombs is a mid 3.8 AndreB. You have a lot of other stuff, but I don’t think you’ll get into McCombs. But if you do increase your GPA to 3.5, you’re in for COLA. An admissions officer told me 3.5 is the average for COLA.</p>

6) Courses completed: 31 after Spring semester
7)Extracurricular Activities: from high school: tennis, youth group president and lots of volunteer work and working at a tutoring academy, etc. not amazing, but better than average
Recommendations: none, did i need some?
Essays: Wrote why I am so fascinated about learning languages and their impact on society and how they shape cultures. Wrote about how I fell in love with the concept behind advertising an what i intend to use it for.</p>
<p>So, since I am a freshmen and my application is apparently incomplete until after spring semester… do I have a lower chance of getting into my preferred college, since the admissions would have already made many decisions on transfers that don’t need to send in their spring transcripts before they even get to look at my application?</p>
<p>And also, I just found out in another thread that there is a certain prerequisite course that can be only taken at UT, for advertising majors. will i just be admitted to college of communications, until i take the course to get into advertising?</p>
<p>^^ I had the same question…</p>
<p>Of course your chances aren’t going to be as good as someone who applies with everything done, BUT that doesn’t mean you won’t get in. The lady told me if everyone who applies has a 4.0 and everything completed, then there won’t be a need for anyone else BUT that never happens. I don’t think it makes a major difference whether or not you have everything completed before you apply because the largest % of transfers apply during their freshmen year.</p>
<p>In short, you’re chances will be lower (not by a substantial amount), but if you keep up the GPA, you’ll still be in.</p>
<p>For the prerequisite course, contact admissions. If it is REQUIRED (like in business) you won’t get accepted. Contact admissions in short.</p>

<p>@cherrybomb: From what I’ve heard and seen, a 3.8 is an “unspoken” guarantee in liberal arts and for RTF you stand a really good chance! This semester I have a friend going to UT as a transfer majoring in RTF. He had 60+ hours and a 3.4. </p>
<p>@everyone: When will we know our admissions decisions? (I have 15 hrs w/ 15 more in progress)</p>
<p>@texaslax10 was your friend an OOS? the one that got in with a 3.4?</p>
<p>@texaslax: late May</p>
<p>oos as in out of school? no. oos as in out of state? no, he actually went to ACC.</p>
<p>Thanks texaslax10 I really hope so And thanks for the response I appreciate it. Good luck to you as well.</p>

<p>I know my GPA isn’t the best, but I’ve been working my tail off this semester. I had three A’s and 3 B’s but because french is four credits and I received a B it brought it down. I really need to know what there is left for me to do or any recommendations please!! :)</p>
<p>Let’s keep this alive guys! There’s not much ‘chancing’ going on right now, but after the freshmen stuff is all in, get ready!</p>
<p>so what are my chances?</p>
<p>For COLA, getting a 3.5 pretty much guarantees you getting in. If you’re sending in your Spring transcript as well, then you’re golden. Just aim for the highest you can this semester (with a minimum of 3.5) and you’re in.</p>
<p>ok i have 87/100 in college coursework, my school doesn´t use gpa and does not rank . i am an international applicant. (( expecting 95/100 this spring semester.))</p>
<p>good essays, good rec letters:</p>
<p>EC: soccer, golf, theatre, community service. </p>
<p>Work experience: work practices at a water treatment facility.
work practice at my dad´s company.</p>
<p>First choice is McCombs (after reading some comments i have figured out that my chances are not that good, but i still have hope)</p>
<p>Second choice is COLA, Economics. </p>
<p>You guys think i can make it, at least get admitted to COLA??? ohh and by the way what GPA is 87/100, aprox.</p>

7)Extracurricular Activities/Recommendations/Essays: Haven’t done a lot of extracurricular in college. Recommendations - Haven’t gotten them yet, but I know my former boss (who obtained her PhD this fall from UT) will write one, as well as my Composition instructor last semester, as I was one of her favorites! Lol
Essays - Haven’t started. Don’t know enough about what I need to write yet - Anything else useful: Hmmm… Didn’t do so well in high-school, especially Freshman/Sophomore year. Hope this doesn’t affect my chances too much. I know that they don’t look at high-school transcripts, but I thought I saw something about creating a Resume with achievements from the past 5 years? anyways, started on my application on Dec 30th and still haven’t finished it… Smh!</p>
<p>An 87 equates to a B+, so I’d imagine that UT would give you a 3.67 as your GPA. Not too sure on that, though, someone can probably chime in. Generally a 3.5 is considered enough to get you into COLA.</p>
<p>I started my first essay at the beginning of last November and couldn’t write a suitable conclusion so I put it off until… last week. A 3 month delay and I ended up BSing a conclusion together in about 10 minutes.</p>
<p>Actually, a B+ would give you a 3.33 GPA, not 3.67…</p>
<p>Crap, looks like I was reading my chart wrong when I posted… yeah, 3.33, sorry.</p>
