UTEXAS McCombs Rejection

Transfer Students
1

<p>Rejected from McCombs due to too many credits.... (Their 90 credits policy)</p>

<p>Did anyone hear from UTEXAS?</p>

2

<p>too many credits can be a bad thing?</p>

<p>Most schools have a 65 limit, but if you take more, they can still reject you even if you plan on entering as a junior?</p>

<p>nope thats only true for UTEXAS...</p>

<p>I spoke to NYU, WashU, Berkeley, USC, UIUC, Cornell, Syracuse, BYU, Georgretown, Indiana..... none of them will penalize students for having too many credits ** AS LONG AS THEY ARE FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGE **</p>

<p>ouch, i have like 80 from a 4 year college</p>

<p>sorry about the rejection though</p>

<p>k1man. Do those 80 credits include the credits you are taking this Spring. </p>

<p>I don't think 80 will be a big deal... u will only loose like 16.</p>

<p>It actually depends upon ur reason for transfer. </p>

<p>Mine is actually a bit different case ... I will have 110 by the time i graduate from a community college.</p>

<p>Well I got into McCombs business school. Got the results day after surgery for appendicitis. That made me feel better ^_^.</p>

<p>What I had: 3.85 (including high school college courses)
3.9x (without the B from Intro to Art I took sophmore year of
high school)</p>

<p>Major: Business (undeclared)</p>

<p>Out of State Transfer
Community College</p>

<p>Essays: I guess they were strong, I had my parents look over it as well as my communication(youth leadership provider look at it). One basically stated why I chose the CC route and why I wanted to go to McCombs. The other was basically name dropping in a sense. </p>

<p>EC: 7 years with same Leadership group (became assistant Teacher after 3)
2 jobs (20 hrs a week 8 month stints)
Currently own my own business</p>

<p>Letter of Recs: Tennis Coach (known for 10 years + alumni of UT of Austin)
Communication Coach (VP for marketing CB Richard and Ellis)</p>

<p>So yea thats how I got in. Dunno if this helps in anyway. Just thought I would post a success story and how/why I got in that way other ppl can get an idea of what works.</p>
