<p>i am a sophomore and attending a community college in illinois. i was planning to transfer right after i get my associate's degree but have no clue if i stand a chance to apply to utexas-austin. i need your honest opinion on this because im completely clueless of the way utexas selects admitted applicants. here's my stats:
gpa-3.90
extra curricular-phi theta kappa honors society member and president o service department, lots of community service, tennis varsity and national champions, disabilities tutor
as for the rest of the application requirements, i don't think i'll screw up my essay and recommendation letters (if they require it).
so... what do you think?</p>

<p>Talk to the UT tennis coach, he may be able to help you out. </p>
<p>I really do not know what UT looks for in transfer applicants. Your GPA looks good though. ECs will be in your favor because of your commitment to community service, IMO. I would apply - the worst they can do is deny you and you lose the application fee. Good luck.</p>
<p>Obviously, you should also make sure to take prereqs for your major/school if you haven't done so. UT evaluates applicants differently based on their intended major. If you're just trying to get into the general school at UT, I think you look good. McCombs or other specific schools will be a different story.</p>
<p>well,yeah... im not really trying to get into mccombs, just the liberal arts department. i plan to major in philosophy and sociology. and yes, im done with my general education courses and still in the process of completing the pre-requisite courses for my intended major. although im not really worried because i know ill have them done by the time i apply for the fall semseter of 07. anyways, thanks for those feel-good replies but do you really think i stand a good chance of getting in even though im not a texas resident? that actually worries me alot... i feel like university of texas will be as cutthroat as the university of california system which, by the way, is ridiculously impossible to get into for out of staters.</p>
<p>You're in.</p>
<p>wow. "you're in", says nathanTX07... geez, i hope it was THAT easy. guess i still have to try my luck and apply. i really want to get into texas, fo' reals.</p>
