UT austin 2017/2018 Transfer Thread

Probably doesn’t help that I’m on pain meds from a knee surgery today, and when I called admissions, they couldn’t understand me… luckily my mom took my phone

@hookmepls @letsbeyounmeut16 No it has no effect.

I have a 3.46 GPA, 9 organizations, lots of volunteer hours, a LOR from my professor, a LOR from a top lawyer at Baker Hughes, 30 hours done after this semester, and Im Arabic

What are my chances of getting into the COLA Govt program?

Theres some killer GPAs in this thread!! Good luck to eveyone hopefully we get some positive answers very soon ;:wink: [-O<

If I applied to McCombs as a first choice and COLA Econ for second, will i be accepted/rejected from Econ at the same time as the other COLA applicants when they release their decisions? Or will I have to wait until I get my McCombs decision in order to know whether I got into COLA?

@lovieland you will get your answer from your first choice and if you are rejected from the first choice then they evaluate for second choice. So you won’t know when the other COLA applicants receive their answers.

@lovieland and @colanxgirl Does that decrease their chances of getting into COLA since they are evaluated so much later than everyone else (meaning there’s less spots)?

@Thompson2688 from what I understand, yes. Since it’s their second choice all the transfer applicants that put it as their first choice get priority. I may be wrong but that’s what I’ve heard.

should Cockrell applications here back today?

man I hope I hear back soon, orientation reservations open march 7th and hopefully if I am accepted I would like to close on an apartment soon.

gaaaah I’m going to be here till June lol

So if I’m skeptical of my chances to get into McCombs should I just switch my first choice major? Or do y’all think it’s too late…

@lovieland If you want to major in something business related, then you should stick with McCombs. If your main priority is to go to UT, no matter what major, then you could possibly switch to economics. Don’t switch it on mystatus, you should call them and ask first. Idk what’s more important to you

Dude if they don’t come out today I’ll legit be so sad

I am hoping just for Saturday :confused:

@utcshopeful Wait why Saturday? I don’t think any decisions will come out/have ever come out on the weekend.

@Thompson2688 last year people got answers at all times through the weekend and late at night. I’m sure they have a rolling system because they can’t all go out at once.

Probably not on the weekends. I’m expecting to be either today evening or we might have to wait till Tuesday or Wednesday… /:slight_smile:

Oh god I’m so anxious. If I refresh my status one more time lol. They’ll send you an email that they updated my status right?

Think the deadline has passed for today
