<p>So I would like to transfer from the University of South Carolina to UT Austin. What do you think my chances would be?</p>
<p>Standing status: Sophomore
Out of state from SC
Credits awarded: 58 (including credits earned by AP exams)
Credits in progress: 13 (I had to take a required PE class this semester that counts as 1 credit, so that's why I don't have the usual 15-16 credit hours)
GPA: 3.88
Major: German and Russian Lit. and Lang. (double major)
1 letter of recommendation from Russian prof.</p>
<p>HS GPA: 3.3
SAT: Reading - 540 | Writing - 580 | Math - 610
ACT: 28
AP Chem: 4
AP Calc BC: 3 (AB Subscore: 5)
AP CompSci: 5</p>
<p>I think 2 of my 3 essays are solid. My 3rd essay (essay E) is okay.</p>
<p>I should mention I had to take a medical withdrawal last semester due to getting sick around midterms and that caused me to have relatively major surgery. The withdrawal was documented and it is so noted on my transcript. I'm 100% better now, so I'm back this semester with currently 5 A's (I usually make A's, so I expect it so stay that way).</p>
<p>So what do y'all think? Thanks! :D</p>
<p>Sorry dude, you can’t transfer once you have over 60 hours. I would call admissions just to check.</p>
<p>some majors consider 60+ credit hours excessive, so they won’t let you transfer. but apparently this rule doesn’t apply to any majors within the college of liberal arts. I think it applies to mostly applicants seeking business degrees.</p>
<p>I don’t think that’s true. As far as I know, you can have over 60 hours of transfer credits, but the requirement is that you have to take 60 of your hours in residence. Meaning if you only had 30 hours left of your degree plan because of transfer credits, you still need to take an extra 30 hours in order to fulfill the 60 hour in residence requirement.</p>
<p>Doesn’t sound like a bad deal. All in all I’ll have to take an extra 3 hours then.</p>
<p>nevermind, that’s 11 hours -_-</p>
<p>The hours when you transfer only include hours taken in a college classroom (i.e not AP credits). You can still get credit for AP classes but they won’t count as transferable hours. Also I believe you can have more than 60 hours. You just have to take 60 hours in residence.</p>
<p>Hey guys, I applied to UT to COLA. I’m really freaked out about my admissions decision, I applied two times and got denied. This is my last attempt to transfer to UT, can anyone tell me if I have a chance in getting in? Here are my stats:</p>
<p>College: ACC
Courses: core classes for UT liberal arts
GPA: 3.42
hours: 60
2 letters of recommendations
Wrote 3 essays: decent
Work experience: 1st job from 9th in high school till soph in college</p>
<p>Please you guys I’m freaking out! UT is my dream school!</p>
<p>I find it strange that you are putting everything on the line and you rate your essays only as “decent”. I would think you would have gotten some special reviews or something to ensure that your essays were powerful.</p>
<p>Anyways, you aren’t a standout with that GPA. People with lower have gotten admitted, but your fate is solely in the competitiveness of the applicant pool and UT admissions.</p>
