<p>Can anyone tell me how easy/hard it is to transfer to UT after your freshman year? any Transfers out there? Whats the best way to go about doing it. I know theres a little to none chance of getting in first go around, just trying to get ideas</p>
<p>I transferred into UT my sophomore year. I was from out of state. At the time of my transfer, they were accepted about 1 in 6 applications for transfer students. I think the most important thing they look for is your GPA. But I had really strong letters of recommendations as well. So if you really want to go to UT Austin, I would suggest that you try to get strong letters of recommendation, as well as reflect your passion for a UT education in your essay. Also, it really really helps to have a strong GPA, because a lot of the transfer students are from the CAP program (where they spend a year at another UT school - San Antonio/Dallas, etc )or from Austin Community College, so you really have to stand out.</p>
