<p>Well I just checked my online decision. It would have been nice if UT had taken the time to notify us that they were posting these, but I guess that's what CC is for.</p>
<p>I applied to the business school but the accepted me as an undelcared liberal arts major into the college. What the hell? I applied to business school. If I was a general education I can go to OU for free. I have being out of state for EVERY good school I apply to. There is seriously nothing good in my state.</p>
<p>It's just sad that they gave me a spot for a major I indicated absolutely zero interest in when there are so many kids trying to get into this school. The spot could have gone to somebody who would use it.</p>
<p>Oh well.</p>
<p>and I was a little angry and realized how full of typos that was.</p>
<p>You do realize that the Business school is one of the hardest business schools to get into in the country. In order to get into business you have to be like top 3% of your class, have a ridiculous SAT score(1530+ M and R), or have some MAJOR extracurriculars. </p>
<p>No offense or anything, but both your SAT(M and R) and your ACT are way too low for admissions. A 4.2 on a 4.5 scale I assume is what you have? That is way low for this business school. I suggest you stay in liberal arts, major in economics, and then transfer into the business school if you are able to have like a 3.7 gpa.</p>
<p>Yeah it might not be that good, but it is hard as **** to get into.</p>
<p>Yeah, the top 10 percent rule is quite gay, but I guess thats what liberal arts is for :).</p>
<p>Well its not THAT hard to get into Business as in SAT 1530...Their policy as I understand when I went to info session is that they take 1% then 2%, and then 3% people (Texas) which fills up about 75% of admittances. Everyone else fights for the remaining 25% "holistically".</p>
<p>Well if your not like top 5% then you better have a darn good SAT.</p>
<p>My EC's have been carrying me at other schools. I am state president of Oklahoma DECA (elected by over 3,000), have two businesses that have brought in over 60k, been in theater for four years, been BPA Chapter president, and about fifteen other clubs and club offices.</p>
<p>I have also placed among the top ten in the world in international DECA compettition, along with numerous 1st place state awards.</p>
<p>Curriculum has been most challenging possible with seven APs and two college courses.</p>
<p>Plus I had recs from the the President Pro Tiem of my state senate and from a federal judge, as well as from teachers and pincipals;</p>
<p>But yeah, my SAT and ACT sucks, well the math anyway. Math always brings down my standardized scores.</p>
<p>All my AP's are 5's though.</p>
<p>SAT II's are decent too.</p>
<p>So yeah, some of my standardized scores aren't great, but given my state level leadership involvement and the international business awards I have recieved, plus my successful business ownership, I don't think I was neccessarily out of line to hope for admission to the business school.</p>
<p>And I'm not mad that I didn't get in to the business program, just sad and dissapointed.</p>
<p>And a little frustrated that UT admitted me for a major I expressed no interest in when they are having to completely turn away so many other applicants who are dying to be there.</p>
<p>For 2006, the average class rank (percentile) for the business freshman admits was 2.6%. The average SAT was 1302. 6125 applied and 1275 were admitted. The undergrad business school is ranked 5th by U.S. News and accounting is ranked 1st for both undergrad and grad.</p>
<p>Hmm, in that case I had the SATs, think it might have been my rank that killed me. I do think that out of state students are evaluated more harshly than in state though.</p>
<p>Out of state would be tough. The top 10% in-state auto-admits fill so many available spots. At UT, class rank is almost everything. 75% of the business freshman admits are solely by class rank.</p>
<p>Do keep in mind that the average SAT score encompasses those people who got in solely on rank. Which means, that if they are from a small town school, they can get in easily without their SAT being considered. So that number is in no way a good estimate of the non-top 5% people that got in.</p>
<p>This also holds true for the whole colleges average SAT. It is brought down big time by the top ten percent kids who get in solely on their rank, which has brought UT some agony in the sense that their college no longer looks as good as it used to on paper. The student population is getting dumber and dumber as the years pass due to top ten percent rule.</p>
<p>I could possibly be #1 in the class at some small hick schools. At a big school like Clear Lake I barely made top 10%. So it just doesn't make sense how the top 10% rule shows an accurate measure of a students ability because class rank really depends on your school size and curriculum.
Well top 10% rule helped me get into UT, so I am not complaining, but I do believe there is a better way.</p>
<p>how hard is it to transfer into the business school once you've been there for idk a year</p>
<p>Pretty hard.. but not as hard as out of school transfer. If you are serious about transferring, you better study crazy hard.</p>
<p>yea i read a statistic that said 91% of accepted freshman are in-state. That means that its very tough to get in out of state. Especially to the schools most competitive major. As for the businesses that grossed some 60k im interested in what these businesses were. Names, product or service etc.</p>
<p>Yes, there are much better ways. I think the more popular majors have maintianed their reputation and are still strong. I believe that the university is not required to structure their admits to majors based on rank, just their overall admits. It would be great if UT was able to accept more out of state students. It would create a more rounded atmosphere and really enhance the experience all the way around. My kids' biggest objection to UT has been that they wanted to branch out a bit and meet people that aren't from Texas or "bubble" communities like ours. I know some really fantastic students that are around 12-13% and they are not even hopeful at this point.</p>
<p>Amazon, they indicate first choice major and second choice major for obvious reasons, and you got in, I don't understand what you're complaining about. If you want business, do it elsewhere then.
cjhmi123, if you think Michigan is so great, then talk about it in the Michigan forum and not here. And it seems rather ignorant to declare the superiority of Michigan over Texas then openly admit you were accepted to one and not the other.</p>
<p>i think overall acceptance rate for internal transfers is about 65%, but oos students need to have a minimum gpa of 3.7, while in-state only need 3.5</p>

<p>one addition, a previous thread said that there can only b 10% oos internal transfers. i didnt see this anywhere in the web, but the poster is a current student at ut who wants to transfer</p>
