<p>I’m a freshman attending a different college and I plan on transferring to the Cockrell School of Engineering next year. I was told you need around a 3.7-3.8 GPA in order to have a good chance of being accepted. However, I was looking around and I found this. </p>
<p>[Transfer</a> Times - Spring 2011 | Be a Longhorn](<a href=“http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/counselors/jcc/transfer-times/spring2011#P91_6556]Transfer”>http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/counselors/jcc/transfer-times/spring2011#P91_6556)</p>
<p>Under the How Grade Point Average Affects Transfer Admission section, it says that for Fall 2010, the average GPA of Cockrell transfers was only a 3.45 o_O. That’s not the average GPA for Cockrell applicants, but for people that got admitted to Cockrell. That’s lower than the average GPA for UGS which is 3.58.</p>
<p>Is that really all you need to get into Cockrell as a transfer provided you have all the technical coursework or did Cockrell just have different standards for Fall 2010 and now require higher standards for Fall 2013 applicants?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
