<p>@damnlol1 I heard you need to get at least 3.5-3.6 at UT to transfer to Cockrell.
Here is the information <a href=“Undergraduate Admissions”>Undergraduate Admissions;
<p>Should I not even bother applying? Realistically the highest I can raise my GPA before applying to transfer is a 3.72. This is depressing. I never though it would be a sure thing transferring but I thought I had a decent chance. besides raising my GPA. Is there anything I can do to make myself more competitive </p>
<p>I know I’m getting really nervous because it seems that people put the COLA as their fall back and are taking all of the spots, leaving no room for a person who actually wants to major in history, economics, or government…</p>
<p>@PaulWall I still think you should apply! I base my chances off what I have observed from these threads in the past year. So basically, these chances are based off this thread and additional information released from the university. You could miss out on a great opportunity if you were to not apply at all! </p>
<p>@PaulWall My daughter just got in as a transfer into COLA with a 3.63 GPA. She had strong essays and impressive LOR’s from people who know her well. COLA isn’t a fallback for her…it’s what she really wanted. She got a quick reply once they received proof of her 30 hours. Definitely apply…what’s the harm? </p>
<p>@txforever Do you mind sharing what major she applied to?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>@keired thank you again for the information. wow I thought Jester was one of the larger dorms on campus and if it’s already full then I wonder what that bodes for those of us still waiting.</p>
<p>@rangers32 haha exactly, anything will do when it comes down to it. I just don’t want to begin looking into things when it’s too late.</p>
<p>@DanielKim3 She was an English major in COLA.</p>
<p>Has anyone received any decisions recently?</p>
<p>Fyi…my daughter was admitted one week ago and received a housing contract today. </p>
<p>@txforever when did your daughter apply for housing? </p>
<p>@rangers32 She applied for housing early February when she turned in her application. </p>
<p>As a transfer will UT look at the GPA on your transcript or recalculate it based only on the classes they accept?</p>
<p>is there any chance for housing for someone who applied for housing late may? guess not…</p>
<p>I was wondering what my odds are of getting accepted?
University: Lamar University
Major: Pre- Social Work
GPA: 3.875 (9 a’s one b)
Hours: 30
Good essays and lengthy resume
On the President’s list.
I’m officially a sophomore.</p>
<p>I also heard the social work school is full of girls, does that make me being a guy have a better chance of getting in? I sent in my final transcript proving 30 hours of course work on may 22, and it has been in review ever since. How competitive are the social work majors?</p>
<p>@saborak they take the gpa of the classes they accept @tg2013 i don’t know much about the social work program but based on your GPa and seeing as you said you have good essays and a detailed resume i think you have a great chance at being accepted</p>
<p>I just got accepted into Nursing!!!
I posted my stats a couple of pages back, but if anyone wants me to post them again, let me know!
And good luck to everyone else, I’m sure you’ll do fine-- I was worrying I wouldn’t get in at all, let alone my first choice!</p>
<p>@rangers32 my friend who applied on 5/9 (exactly one month ago), received his housing contract late last night. However, I still haven’t received mine even though I applied a little bit before him. I hope I get mine before July 1st so I can put down the same roommate preferences as him.</p>
<p>@Golfing7861 I applied a week before that on April 23rd and haven’t gotten a housing contract yet and they are supposedly offered in order of application date. Is he a transfer student too? That’s weird, I hope we weren’t overlooked but if we were we would have gotten a rejection email. I guess the housing contracts are not offered in order of application date?</p>
