My first choice is Sustainability Studies in COLA and I have a 4.0 with 1 LOR. My resume/essays are decent at best. Hoping everyone gets an answer within these coming weeks! If you can, comment whenever you get a decision that way the rest of us know to start checking as well 
How hard is to get accepted to CNS without calculus? I have other math credits, just not calc since it was never required for my major here.
How many credits do you have @Whatzittoya because from the Gpa standpoint youāre most def getting into Cola
@Gotenks16 I have 33 credits, but only 10 of them are math/science credits which for some reason makes me feel like my application will look weaker. The rest of my credits are from history, english, spanish, and government. Hopefully youāre right!
@Whatzittoya i thought the same way because i only have 3 credit hours of science and i havenāt taken a real math class because Iām in remedial math. I spoke with an admissions counselor that covers the Dallas area and i was told that Cola doesnāt care if we have lots of math and science credits or very little. Was even told that i donāt even need a math class to transfer into cola so if you donāt much math or science credit itās fine if youāre applying to cola since thatās school that doesnāt really focus much on math and science like that.
@trevijua Haha this kinda blows for me bc I paid 9 dollars to resend my updated transcript, and it also says on mystatus that they received it the day after. Hopefully they will review the updated one.
@Tylergary2 Donāt worry Iām kind of on the same boat as you. I recently just took Micro and Macro as an 8 week course, so I donāt exactly know how theyāre going to review my application.
Do you have extra curriculums and volunteer service? How do you feel about your essays?
Not sure if you talking to me but Iām in a couple of clubs and my essays were very very good. My sister who graduated from the UT last year helped me with them. Do they really take essays into consideration that much tho? Cause I feel like itās mostly based on gpa
Has anyone been accepted or denied yet from UT?
Well my sister didnāt write them for me she just edited them very well
So have you already taken calc1 and 2? Did you get an A in all the pre reqs for Econ? Whatās your gpa and how many hours do you have?
@tylergary2 Yeah I finished Cal 1 and 2 both with a B, and my micro and macro I got both Aās for them. i have 42 hours and a 3.68 GPA so I think Iām like dead center for average lol
Thatās above average for college but pretty mediocre for ut. I called admissions and they said to be competitive for Econ you need a 3.5-3.6. I think as long as you keep it above a 3.6 and have good LOR which from what Iāve heard are super super important then you should be able to get accepted!
Would the fact that many of my math and science credits are from AP tests affect my admissions? Iāve received AP credit for classes up to Calculus 2 and Physics 2, but I have shown Aās in all other math and science classes Iāve taken at university such as linear algebra, discrete math, and computer algorithms(Iām currently a CS major with a GPA of ~3.8[3.9 if you include my previous university])
.
@MankoDestroyer I called the office of admissions today regarding the updated transcript as well as talked to some friends that have a lot of information regarding admissions and they told me that if you have not gotten the admission decision yet and it is under review and you sent the updated transcript with the higher Gpa then they will look at it since it will be in your application documents, so I went ahead and paid the $9 and sent my updated one aswell. Good luck!
Anyone get accepted or denied yet?
@Tylergary Still waiting on my admission decision from COLA/UT. I called yesterday and spoke to a very serious man who sounded like he had some inside on the actual decision making and he told me more towards the end of the month. I hope we find out in the next 2 weeks though because I am so neurotically waiting on what university Im going to end up going to.
Yeah I agree man. Itās kinda ridiculous how long itās taking. All other colleges I applied to have given me a decision. And some need to know if Iām going to accept or decline by December 15th( a and m)
