<p>For you CNS apps, don’t give up. I went through the last few messages and decided to ask my brother, who transferred from ACC to CNS - Chemistry a couple of years ago. (I went to this board so many times that it’s hard to break the habit, lol!) He said that COLA and CNS have about the same acceptance stats (3.6 GPA and about 40% acceptance) except for CS, which has been too full the last couple of years. The reason that COLA transfers get accepted earlier is that most of their majors do not require specific courses; they just want 30 transferable. Then they can just look at GPA and some type of index based on your essay scores and resume. But CNS requires Admissions to review the specific courses you took and to match them against admissions requirements, so it takes a little longer. He said that he got his acceptance about a week after the first COLA admits. The info is on the Spring transfer thread from a couple of years ago. </p>
<p>So stay positive, and best of luck! (yes, I know I said earlier that I was a recovered cheerleader, but I can help it. ) </p>
<p>@imaswann So lets say you put CNS Undeclared as your first choice, and COLA undeclared as your 2nd choice? How do they handle that? Does COLA review it first and say, “Okay CNS if you don’t accept this guy then we got him” or does CNS say, “Nah, we aren’t taking this dude, COLA you can have him”</p>
<p>When filling out the transfer application for the fall. Do you show classes that you’ll take within the following semester or only the ones you’re taking at the moment?</p>
<p>Should CNS and UGS give their decisions by tomorrow? </p>
<p>The more and more COLA applicants get accepted the more and more I wished I would have applied there. I really think I’m gonna get rejected guys. I’ve already made that mindset up. </p>
<p>You never know! Stay positive!! @Kooplar246 </p>
<p>OK guys, I visited with my brother and a couple of his frat friends (all seniors). They say that UT admissions makes almost all decisions - exceptions are mostly international. So, if you list CNS first, they check your GPA, essays and resume and then check you against required courses. There is some type of index of GPA and EC’s, essays and other items - basically points for good essays, ECs, background. No one outside of admissions knows the formula. If you have a good GPA/index but don’t have CNS prereqs and requested a second major, then admissions considers you for the second major. But, COLA and CNS GPA and admit rates are close, so you need to have a good GPA/index no matter what. UGS is for students who still need core classes and have less than 42 hours. Their admit rates and gpas are about the same as CNS and COLA. So basically, good GPA/index and you are probably in good shape for CNS or COLA. Major exception is CS, which is cutting back even internal transfers. Also, Economics and Psyc seem to be harder to get into for COLA. Sorry for disjointed message - sent from my tablet at Starbucks. </p>
<p>@imaswann crap I am applying to CS, lol…
so we will prob hear back next week?</p>
<p>Gonna be a wait for CS I bet - they’re not even allowing internal transfers to apply for spring so they’re not taking very many it any transfers at all </p>
<p>@Longhorns061012 damn, so i probably wont hear until december? lol</p>
<p>@UTpatriot17 yeah, i feel ya. At this point I just want a freaking decision. </p>
<p>I know… I care but don’t care at the same time if I get denied… Just freaking let me know what I need to do with my life. Lol @kooplar246</p>
<p>Does anyone know if at this point, we are just playing a survival game? Like if we haven’t been rejected yet then we are in pretty good standing? Because thats what I read on the Spring 2014 forum. </p>
<p>@kooplar246 I sure hope thats the case, I dont have any LORs but I’ve been dean list-ing for the past two semesters and I used to volunteer in high school when I lived in a different country.And I have a really good GPA. But I’m not an international student. COME ON UT. GAWD.</p>
<p>I saw on last year’s forum that a few people got their acceptances “today” I hope that’s the same case this year. </p>
<p>same @arkarind + @UTpatriot17</p>
<p>I understand that different schools are obviously gonna have different requirements to get in, but it really sucks how they make everyone wait, instead of releasing them out all at once. I mean, UGS was my first choice. Maybe that’s where I went wrong?</p>
