Just to confirm, you want Austin and not another UT campus, right? I’d say you’re in. I’ve never heard of anyone with a 3.5+ not getting into COLA, but in case my app gets denied for Spring 2010, I’ll be sure to let you know. lol Are you taking any honors classes or are you in Phi Theta Kappa? With your GPA you may not need it, but it wouldn’t hurt either.

How many units do you have completed so far? UT requires 30 to transfer, although you can apply before that if the remaining courses are in progress. The Fall 2010 deadline is March 1st, but even if you submit your application tomorrow, don’t expect to hear anything until at least April. You could definitely start working on your essays (A & E for transfers) to give your self plenty of time to polish them up and really make them stand out, although again, your GPA is pretty much all they care about.
