UT austin 2017/2018 Transfer Thread

Yeah I honestly wish I would have just applied for a major that didn’t have pre reqs then just internally transferred to Econ cause I’ve heard it isn’t to difficult to do.

I don’t want them to wait for my finals grades to accept or decline me cause I have to accept or decline a and ms decision by the 15th

Congrats to those that got accepted! I am still patiently waiting for my decision, I applied to International relations and global studies for 1st major choice and Human dimensions of organizations for 2nd major choice.

@trevijua Cool! I applied for European Studies so kinda on the same road, but I was wondering what your stats are! Do you mind sharing?

I’m waiting to hear back from COLA for History. However, I did update my financial aid to include UT (at the advice of my advisors) and UT did accept that. Probably doesn’t mean anything though.

@hh041432 @Tylergary2 Sure, 3.45 GPA (3.51 currently but couldnt send it since it was after deadline), 51 Credit Hours, 3 LORs, strong background in both majors that I applied since I am the CEO of my international business in electronic accesories as well have various management positions in previous/current jobs, both essays in my opinion really good and interesting, 2x presidents scholar list in the community college I attend, good community service hours, multiple clubs, and a hispanic sophomore international applicant with Texas residency so classified as an in-state. This is my 3rd time applying to UT, first 2 times I applied I tried Mccombs and Economics but never paid attention to the prerequisites since I didnt have Calc 1/2, this time I went with those 2 majors I mentioned in the previous post that didnt requiere prerequistes in Liberal arts but strong background in that major criteria. Really nervous, hopefully third time the charm!

What are your stats? My second choice is History

@Tylergary2 : I have 47 credits with a 3.5 GPA. One LOR, two essays, strong resume (I’ve been an SI Leader for History for a few semesters). I have extensive volunteer work as well. My second choice is English. I have pre recs for both but my current credits lean more into History.

Not sure if you were talking to me but mine are:

39 hours and a 3.43 GPA. I had baller essays and I have a good resume. I have lots of volunteer hours and I am Vice President of an honors organization at my CC called Phi Theta Kappa. I am also the Chair for Fellowship at my CC. My first choice is obviously European Studies and my second is Psychology, I applied to COLA. Not sure what else y’all want to know but Im white, 21 and in state applicant.

Do you guys think I have a good shot of getting into CNS with 39 hours and a 4.0 gpa? I was a pre nursing major here but I changed my major. So i have only completed Bio 1, Chem 1 and statistics. I am currently in Chem 2 and another math class.

I kinda have a feeling COLA decisions will start tomorrow… at least I hope!!

So last year on this day a whole bunch of decisions were made for COLA. I sure do hope we get some admission decisions today, or I might just have to take out my frustration and go drink me some margaritas. HEYYYY.

What are the pre reqs for History? I thought there were none

@Tylergary2 for COLA, the only pre-reqs are for those applying to Economics or Enviornment Science major from what shows on UT’s website. I don’t think Histroy has pre-reqs from what I have seen. Here is the link to the majors that ask for pre-reqs, for transfer’s https://admissions.utexas.edu/apply/transfer-admission#fndtn-transfer-admission-major-specific-requirements-by-school and for freshman’s https://admissions.utexas.edu/apply/freshman-admission

Ya that’s what I thought. Someone said that they had all the pre reqs for History but there are none.

I called admissions and asked when they are going to start releasing decisions and the lady told me at the beginning of December. WUT. I need to know soon, like this is crazy. Anyone’s status changed?

I called yesterday and they said anytime between now and December. So i’m pretty sure some will be released in November.

The updated transcript with my higher GPA I sent about 2 weeks ago just arrived/shows up in Mystatus and my app is still under review so atleast I know they will come across the new GPA incase anyone sent their updated transcripted.

Doesn’t look like they’re sending out many decisions today. Looking more like we’ll have to wait until next week. Literally been checking my status every 10 minutes!!

I checked around 2:30 and nothing yet from COLA :/. Supposedly some Freshman decisions were supposed to go out today as well and they haven’t heard back either. Hopefully they’ll come out later today
