I am currently a freshman at uhd and will finish the year with a 3.8 GPA. I am involved in several extracurricular activities like student government and the food bank. I am looking to transfer to the liberal arts college at UT Austin; what are my chances?
They’re quite good actually. What are your 1st and 2nd choice major? Also, do you have 30 hours completed? The average GPA for COLA transfers is just north of 3.6, so you’re in really good shape if you can maintain a 3.8+.
my first choice is political science and my second is econ. ill finish the year with 33 hours.
When you say the year do you mean this current Fall semester? If so you will have to wait for the current semesters grades to go through before you get your acceptance which could cause problems when applying for housing. Applicants with 30+ hours at the time of applying are given priority. If I were you I would wait until next semester to apply. I would be surprised if you got denied from both of those majors with a 3.8 though.
Housing is not an issue. But then will I not get accepted because I will have to wait to sjbmot my final transcript at the end of the spring semester?
