<p>How would y’all chance a summer 2015 transfer applicant with 48 hours and a 3.58 GPA? Applying as a psychology major. (COLA) Two strong essays, Phi Theta Kappa member and 3 LOCs- one from a professor and two from colleagues that know me personally. Also, this spring I plan on either volunteering or working in my field of study.</p>
<p>Yikes, I didn’t know that Redwing54. I applied as an English major for Spring, but I have 28 credits and they’re waiting for me to send my transcripts again at the end of the semester. My GPA is a 3.78. Does this really hurt me?</p>
<p>@putabirdonit Honestly I don’t think it will make that much of a difference unless you’re a borderline applicant. Your GPA should definitely get you into that major.</p>
<p>Has anyone thought about what their mystatus page says about changing majors? The date they have for that is Nov. 1st to December 15th. So technically some people will be recieving a decision soon right? Because why would they give a start date to change majors like that if no one has their acceptance yet? I think some decisions may start to go out this week after considering that. </p>
<p>Does anyone else just not like the way that UT does these things, in the case of those who have less than 30 credit hours? They really expect you to move to Austin, get settled, and pick mediocre classes all in the span of half a month? I know that its competitive, and that may be true but there HAS to be a better way to do these things. Imagine if you’re an OOS and have less than 30 credit hours at the application deadline. You need to basically reestablish your life in less than a month. How do they expect us to do so? Luckily I did have 30 hours before the application deadline but come on UT. </p>
<p>@Kooplar246 I totally agree with you. Other schools have either already have decisions rolling out. While I get they are a selective school, but I get the feeling they only want certain people in there school. I myself don’t think ill make it into the school and my gpa is a 3.4 which isnt bad honestly. I’m glad I have a back up plan. </p>
<p>They are really taking way too long lol… Im gonna get my georgia tech admission like next week, UT is being really stupid about this</p>
<p>Not much longer supposedly. But according to the most recent email from an admissions counselor at UT, decisions may start to go out mid december instead of mid-november. I’m sort of getting annoyed with the constant changing of the date. Why can’t they just be honest with us? </p>
<p>I’m kind of stressed out about finding housing and settling down within a month. I live in-state, so it’s not horrible. I can’t imagine what this is like for out of state transfers though. Everyone here has kind of assured me that I’ll get into COLA, but I’m still kind of worried about waiting until the last minute to lease an apartment. </p>
<p>Also, I’m wondering if you guys can help me with this… I’ve never used government aid because I was making enough to pay for my classes and I lived at home. However, I was fired a few months back and I’m currently very broke. Could anyone help point me in the right direction on filing the FAFSA and all that? After I file it what do I do? Is there a guide somewhere? </p>
<p>DECEMBER??!!! I cant even afford to wait that long, all my other decisions will come by november at the latest</p>
<p>There’s a simple solution to the timeframe problem for spring admission: apply for summer or fall instead.</p>
<p>Spring 2015 was the best time for me though, and I can’t wait till next fall. ughhh</p>
<p>I just spoke to the admissions online and they said that if you have 30 hours by october 1st you will get the decision no later than mid november.</p>
<p>@putabirdonit42 The FAFSA application isn’t too complicated. You just need a list of your finances and that should do. The application guides you it self but if not you can probably find a guide online.</p>
<p>It will definitely start Mid November.</p>
<p>It’s getting closer… we’re definitely in the home stretch period of Nov 1st to December 15th</p>
<p>I predict (based on my friends’ experiences last year) that COLA and other non-STEM decisions will roll out around Nov 14.</p>
<p>I’m so ready. I wish it was mid-November already. </p>
<p>At least you guys will probably know by this month! I have to wait until the end of this semester to send my transcript with 34 hours. I’ll have either a 3.6 or 3.7 gpa and applied to COLA as undeclared. I’m a military vet with special ops experience. What do you guys think of my chances? The thing that worries me is finding an apartment in time. I can’t commit to anything before I know if I’m accepted so that’s probably only going to give me about 3 weeks to find a place. </p>
<p>@NateH71 I am also a military vet and I applied for Fall 2014, but didn’t get in. I had 34 hours COLA Psychology, 3.6 GPA. When I didn’t get in, I called the vet office and they connected me with admissions and explained that the only I didn’t get in was because they ran out of room for that semester. They told me that as long as I kept my stuff the same, that I should definitely reapply in spring. I moved to Austin anyways and I go to ACC right now and I am waiting for these mid-Nov results. I’d say your chances are good, and finding an apartment out here wasn’t hard at all. There are lots of choices, but I would definitely start looking now if I were you so you know what you want if you have a time crunch. Good luck!</p>
