UT Austin: Spring Transfer 2019 Thread

Mine says complete too but not in review :frowning:

Mine says it is in review now

I heard that Spring spots are mostly given to transfer students who are eligible for auto adminā€¦ How difficult is it to get in without auto? I have a 3.85 GPA 27 hours applying to Urban Studies in the College of Liberal Arts?

@drojes possibly spots in COLA as auto admins are eligible for auto into COLA, not sure though

@rangerfan34 mine changed to ā€œin review nowā€ today as well

Me too.

Mine says in review now idk how many days will it take for them to post the decision tho? Any idea? 3 wks?

Looking at last yearā€™s thread, they didnā€™t start releasing decisions until 11/16/2017. And it was randomly released, although it appeared that majors in the CNS found out sooner than majors COLAā€¦but CNS majors still found out later. It didnā€™t matter when anyone applied - they didnā€™t look at that. Thatā€™s all I got from reading the threads. LOL.

Oh and my daughterā€™s status changed to ā€œApplication for admission is in reviewā€ yesterday.

I am in review too as well, esskitit

My status changed to in review yesterday too.

mid November I believe

Do you guys know whether having calculus as an AP credit hurts your chances or not? I followed the UT transfer guide but I just did not take Calculus since I had an AP Calculus BC credit from high school.

Just some background info:
Major Applied for: Neuroscience
GPA: 4.0
Credit hr: 52
LoR: 3
ECC: Tons of leadership positions in High school and 80+ hr volunteer
Essays: Worked super hard on them, I think theyā€™re really good

I applied for Fall 2018 at the beginning of this year and got denied, but I did not put a lot of effort into my essays tbh. I also (as seen on the comment above) have not taken Calculus or Biology since I have AP credits for them. Thoughts on my chances? I genuinely am nervous since I got denied previously

If you have 50 university hours, & a 4.0 gpa, with very good LORā€™s you arenā€™t going to have any issues mate. Those with less than 45 university hours will need to have very, very good grades. I have a degree already so Iā€™m in your same situation imho. Thatā€™s my Ā£2 of opinion;-)

I think you have really good chance of getting in do let us know if you get in :slight_smile: best of luck!

@Sith77 They are community college hours and Thanks!
@utbabe Thank you, I for sure will post whether I get in or not!

Is it true that not a lot of people apply for spring semester and people who apply have a higher/better chance of getting in?

Iā€™ve heard that, but who knows whether or not if its factual. The acceptance rate I ā€œthinkā€ is 40%. Thereā€™s no way everyone walking on campus regardless of major is a 3.7 and higher gpa student. UT uses a holistic approach when evaluating applicants. Essays, resumeā€™, and LORā€™s do matter.

Will they notify us first by email that a decision is posted on my status or do we check it everyday to see if something is posted?

@utbabe They will send you an email saying that your mystatus page has been updated.
