<p>so IF i get in as a transfer student with a 3.25 GPA i'll major in psychology or some liberal art major. then boost my GPA like real HIGH (preferably attempt to get a 4.0 during that semester) and then change my major to accounting (accounting is in Mccombs right?) in the spring!!!!
will this work??</p>

<p>IF i don't get accepted for fall '10 with my GPA, i'll stay at home and go to school for another semester (San Antonio College), boost my GPA real HIGH (again aim for that 4.0!) and then just apply for Mccombs for the spring.</p>

<p>will these work???</p>

<p>Only hiccup is that McCombs doesn’t take spring transfers or admits, you have to start the program in the fall. So, work for 2 semesters to bring your grades up to a 4.0 and give it a go!</p>

<p>will i be like super behind when i eventually switch my major to accounting.</p>

<p>so i majored in biology my first year, i’ll change my major to a liberal arts major so i can get in my second year as a transfer, then i’ll change it to accounting and see if i can get in internally that way. will i be super behind with the accounting courses and stuff??</p>

<p>Just an FYI, it is REALLY tough to get and maintain a 4.0 GPA. Transfer students tend to get screwed over at UT because the advisers here suck. My best piece of advice is to stay we’re your at, take the pre-req classes at a community college such as Cal I & II (because they are tough at UT) and then apply for transfer. If you don’t get in, go to UT take easy classes and earn a high GPA (3.7 is fine) and then apply.</p>

<p>Good Luck! :)</p>

<p>yeah i’m a freshman at LSU right now taking Calc 2, i was going to do some summer classes too, to boost my GPA. then major in economics while i’m waiting to get into accounting my junior year at UT</p>

<p>some of my friend definitely did that, but they were internal transfers.</p>

<p>also, pulling your GPA up from 3.25 is hard. if you are a freshmen, say you get a 4.0 the next semester with the same # of hours as your first semester, your GPA is 3.63. The longer you are in school the harder it is to pull it up.</p>

<p>You should check out the ECO-MPA program. It allows economics majors to pursue a MPA degree and prepares them for the CPA exam. I don’t know anyone in it, but I imagine it would be a good option for you, if you don’t make it into McCombs. </p>
