What GPA do I need for an internal transfer to UT College of Communications?

<p>I am going to be a liberal arts student at UT next year. Originally want to internally transfer to McCombs business but believe it is more realistic for me to shoot for Communications. </p>

<p>The Communication UT website states that you need atleast a 2.25 to apply internally and other requirements, but that doesn't mean that one will be automatically accepted.</p>

<p>I know McCombs you need a 3.8+ to even be considered and actually really a 4.0, but how does Communications work? Would it be good to join clubs, have a job...?</p>

<p>You need a 3.6 to get into McCombs</p>

<p>OK dude I'm asking about COMMUNICATIONS, not McCombs. And even if I was a 3.6 is definitely not "what you need". I know someone with a 3.9 that didn't get in! </p>

<p>So again, please...what is a safe GPA for internal transfer into the UT College of Communications. Thanks.</p>

<p>3.6 for McCombs. Probably a 3.2 for Communications.</p>

5

<p>You really only need a 3.6 for McCombs? Where are you getting this information?</p>

<p>That's just what I've heard people saying around this site. For external you need a 4.0, internal needs a 3.6</p>

<p>Minimum is a 3.6, average is a 3.8 with a 62% internal acceptance rate</p>

<p>Do you know if Communication needs any math? My problem is I WANT to go to McCombs, but in order to internally xfer you need Calculus I. I don't want to take that, Pre-Cal, and any other prerequists and not be able to maintain that GPA.</p>

<p>My backup was primary communications but if I took Calculus I and didn't do well, that could really mess up my chances of getting into Communications. Ya know? What should I do?</p>

<p>I almost feel to just strive for communication...b/c I don't want to do all of this math for nothing and possible screw over my GPA.</p>

<p>I think Communications only needs like statistics or algebra, no calculus. If you know you're bad at math then don't risk it, go for Communications. How do you know you'll be bad at Calculus, you'll never know until you try.</p>
