<p>Hey everyone!</p>
<p>I am interested about the academic fresh start program. 'Be A Longhorn' doesn't have much information about it, and I was really just interested in others past experiences.</p>
<p>Currently I am enrolled in ACC with a 3.4-3.5 GPA while working a lead position at my job (w/ eng phys 2 and cal 3). I have a pretty bad GPA from my previous bout at school, none of which would be incorporated into my current GPA.</p>
<p>I am applying for the ECE program at Cockrell school. I have a pretty good resume with the start up that I just resigned from, as lead systems integrator... so I have a decent shot at UT Austin.</p>
<p>But, what I don't understand is the process of utilizing the academic fresh start. From the way it seems, they give you a decision and you have to call back to see your options? That doesn't sound very promising to me, and I was wondering if there are means to use this in the application process. </p>
<p>Being rejected and then applying again is not an option, seeing as UT only accepts new students for Fall semester only.</p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate any information regarding this issue, even more appreciation from those that have used the AFS programs successfully, and how it was done!</p>
