UT transfer chances? Foreign language deficiency

<p>I currently have 48 hours at my local cc in Texas and will have 59 by the end of the spring. I do not have any foreign language credits though but I could take the placement next month exam and I'm confident I will pass and get all 16 credits before the deadline.</p>

<p>Now i'm afraid taking the CLEP exam might be unnecessary. I took 2 years of german in high school. I also worry that If I plan on transferring internally later on (i'm still undecided between CS and finance) then I would be over the limit of the 90 credits max to transfer internally.</p>

<p>Also, does the "language deficiency" hurt admission decisions? Will my chances of getting accepted into the CNS or liberal arts school decrease?</p>

<p>Stats:
3.75 GPA (4.0 last two semesters)
48 transferable hours (59 by spring)
minority
Completed Calc 1, (Calc 2 in progress in the spring)
All A's on other Math classes
No ECS, no LoR's</p>

<p>Where did you get information about 16 credit hours and foreign language requirement for CS degree?</p>

<p>Only BA CS requires foreign language (12 credit hours with accelerated courses), BS and BSA require Foreign language and Culture (can be 6 credits of foreign culture)
