Spring 2015 Transfer Thread

<p>There’s no “accept” tab because Spring transfers don’t have to pay a deposit. We have a deadline to confirm registration in January. Also, we can get our new UT e-mail accounts at this link. <a href=“http://utmail.utexas.edu/”>Welcome to UTmail | UT Austin; </p>

<p>You will need to first upgrade your EID password with the tab on the status page. After that it’s just fill in the blanks to get the UT e-mail set up. </p>

<p>Also, if you live in Austin or will visit soon, you can drop by the Flawn Academic Center to get your UT ID card. It just took me about 5 minutes. I’m official now!!!</p>

<p>@imaswann thanks. Do we just show up for orientations in January then? Nothing to pay for ?(except tuition of course)
Do they just give us the id cards if we show up there? If that’s the case, I plan on going there on Monday.</p>

<p>My Buddy got into COLA Undeclared with a 3.8! He was an OOS student and he had a 3.8 with some rock solid essays and letters of recommendation. Good luck everyone! Decisions are slowly rolling out so I hope everyone gets in! :smiley: </p>

<p>The waiting is destroying my patience. Is admissions handled by each department seperately or a general specific committee? I want to know if my application is taking longer because I am applying for CS.</p>

<p>Also, is it possible to get admission decisions on the weekends? or are they only on weekdays?</p>

<p>Accepted earlier this afternoon into COLA economics with a 3.3 GPA with 49 credit hours (as well as 29 from AP and CLEP credits) from an out-of-state private university, although I am a Texas resident.</p>

<p>Hey, Riceprincess. Yes! You go to the main floor of Flawn. In the middle is an IT desk. You give them your info, then wait a few minutes. Then you get your ID card. Sorry for the disjointed message. Celebrating in ATX!</p>

<p>Also, there’s a link to register for orientation on Jan 12. The link is on status tab.</p>

<p>How many of you guys are CNS hopefuls here? And when do they start announcing :frowning: </p>

<p>Man I wish I would of applied to COLA… CNS is frustrating. @Kooplar246‌ </p>

<p>@Kooplar246‌ I am wanting to get into CNS cs … ahhh</p>

<p>Should we hear by Wednesday? (CNS first… UGS second) </p>

<p>If I don’t hear back before thanksgiving, I’m probably just gonna give up hope. Should’ve applied to COLA,</p>

<p>Got accepted this afternoon to COLA Psychology with a 3.6 GPA, 2 LORs, solid essays, and a resume with 6 years of military/deployment experience and TONS of volunteering. I applied for Fall 2014 and was rejected with the SAME EXACT APPLICATION and was accepted this time around. I think spring might be a bit easier. Good luck to everyone left, and congrats to all of those that were accepted. HOOK 'EM! </p>

<p>Does anyone know how they handle your 2nd choice? I put COLA Undeclared as my 2nd choice… perhaps some hope?</p>

<p>Hey guys I had the same question. I am applying for CNS chemistry in the fall. What is a good second major?</p>

<p>I got in! Hook 'em Horns!
COLA: Government
Lone Star College System (Houston,Texas)
GPA: 3.62 (52 hours, no C’s, Some Honors credit hours)
Bunch of Extracurricular (elected office and honor societies)
-President of the Honors College
-Member of the President’s Leadership council
-President of computer club
-Events Coordinator for International Student Organization
Volunteering for a political campaign (Wendy Davis)
3 LORs (2 prof., 1 UT Austin alumni whom I worked for)
Really solid essays. </p>

<p>My GPA was the average, I believe it was my resume, LORs, and essays boosted my application. Good luck everyone! I will see most of you in spring orientation! Hook 'em! </p>

<p>I cant find the link to register for orientation :/</p>

<p>Yes, its hard to find. Here’s the link. You need to click on “transfer” and then “spring semester” in the first box. The page will change a bit, and you go down the page to “Spring Orientation FAQs.” Click on that link, and the registration link is at the bottom of that page. I’m not sure why they made such a simple task so difficult (!!?) <a href=“http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/nss/”>http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/nss/&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>Hey KMN1022 ! Congrats on your acceptance. I was hoping UT wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>
