<p>I just checked my UT Transfer App and it says I got denied from Engineering school. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>3.956 with over 50 transferable hours
tons of extra-curricular activities and awards
3 good essays
2 letters of recommendation </p>
<p>I had the indicator course mark for Caluclus, However I have calculus 2 in progress, actually making a high A in it so far. Also taking Chem 1, Physics 2 this semester. How could they possibly make a decision while I have some of the required courses in progress? I wonder if I should appeal, and what are my chances?</p>
<p>You have calc 2 in process? That means ( in terms of UT) that you don’t have the first calc completed yet, UT has only calc 1 and 2. I assume that your current school has up to calc 3.</p>
<p>are you out of state? i mean that is the only thing i could possibly believe went wrong.
I got in with 32 hours 17 of which were from high school. Although my recommendation letters were probably a factor.</p>
<p>well, if you just do a bit of research you’d have seen that being a Texas resident (and graduating from a tx hs) is extraordinarily important in admission.</p>
<p>you asked “what may have gone wrong” clearly it wasn’t your gpa. you mentioned your activities and awards were strong so perhaps they didnt like your essays, or your recommendations.
I was just answering your question because i feel your measurable achievements qualify you… However, you should submit an appeal, thats what i would have done, good luck to you!</p>
<p>“If, however, the college or university from which you submit transferable coursework teaches calculus in a three-semester sequence, you must complete the first two semesters of the sequence to demonstrate calculus readiness.”</p>
<p>@Aheng90 - You are applying to CSE, but what is your first/second choice major?</p>
<p>I am also applying to transfer, but as an international. I have completed 32 hours. I am taking right know Calculus II and Physics II. I should expect a decision by the end of this week, but I dont know for sure if I will hear from them soon because of the fact that I havent completed Calculus II. I think they will put me on hold until I show them my spring grades. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>@theholgram &Griddz- My situation is unique; I am actually an international student/ Texas resident. I graduated from a high school overseas, and then received GED here in Texas after having lived in TX for 36 months. </p>
<p>Surprisingly, my application was reconsidered for a review after 24 hours. I got a phone call from UT in the following morning asking me what courses I am currently taking and how my performance is!!! I did not even have to go through the appeal process.</p>
<p>@Aheng90 - Its very important UT knows what courses you are currently taking. Last week I had to fax a document to the university showing my current coursework (already mentioned) for spring 2013. </p>
<p>I had the opportunity to talk with a counselor of my department. She told me that showing a credit in Calculus I and proof of in-credit Calculus II was enough to be considered for admission. I believe this process is followed almost at every engineering admission department.</p>
<p>I mean, your profile looks awesome. I think that UT automatically appealed your admission without the need of your intervention. You are a domestic transfer right?</p>
<p>I am a domestic transfer, that is correct. I do not know why they rejected me then reconsidered me again! My app still says in review. Fingers crossed!!!</p>
<p>Thanks @ the hologram- have you received a decision yet?</p>
