Spring 2015 Transfer Thread

<p>Accepted to first choice CNS - Math!</p>

<p>3.87 GPA, like 72 hours completed (a lot of preparation in the sciences and math – I’m talking like Calc 1 - 3, Linear Algebra, taking now Discrete Math and Statistics; Biology, Physics Mechanics).</p>

<p>I had no recommendation letters, sort of OK extracurriculars, and pretty good essays I think.</p>

<p>Congratulations @jkim3265‌ !! </p>

<p>I got accepted to CNS with my first choice major, Biology with a 3.87 GPA! Congrats to everyone else who got in and I hope to see you guys there next month!</p>

<p>Also, about 59 credits, no extracurriculars in college (did some in high school overseas), applied with calc 1 in progress, no LORS and decent essays I guess (i half assed them tbh lol)</p>

<p>I got admitted to CNS biology with a 3.9!!! Congratulations to everyone, THANK GOD THE WAIT IS OVER</p>

<p>@LSakwa amen to that, now we have a month to get everything else together, AND end the semester on a good note. Oh gawd. </p>

<p>Congrats to anyone that just got accepted! I’ve been following this post for about a month now and I’m sure we’re all tired of waiting by now. I’m glad to know that for at least some of us, that wait is over.</p>

<p>On another note, has anyone been accepted to Computer Science at CNS? It seems that they’ve finally decided to send some but none of them are CS so far.</p>

<p>whats your first choice?</p>

<p>Mine are CS as first and Math as second.</p>

<p>@ivanryuu‌ similar here, I am doing CS first, CNS undeclared 2nd (but I will only go to UT if i get CS). </p>

<p>When will CNS send the decisions for CS?</p>

<p>Congrats @UTPatriot17 @rogerybarra and @jkim3265 You guys should be freaking excited! The wait was worth it for y’all! Hook em! </p>

<p>Oh and same go for @bettercallsal and @Lsakwa ! Congrats! </p>

<p>Has anyone gotten accepted into their 2nd choice? </p>

<p>Can anyone help me out with my fall transfer app?</p>

<p>Ugh okay, so I applied for English even though I really want to major in Film and I just realized that I need 60 credits at UT before I can internally transfer. If they accept me for Spring can I change my major when I get there or do I really have to wait that long? If I have to have the 60 credits first then I might just stick with English…</p>

<p>I’m not an expert on anything @Kyotoraz, but if all you need is an extra pair of eyes or an opinion then I can weigh in. Also, how many people are STILL waiting to hear? I feel like a lot of people finally got their decisions yesterday. </p>

<p>Im still in review :frowning: </p>

<p>Well at least we’re not alone…Fingers crossed that we won’t have to wait through the weekend. Keep calm and check MyStatus.</p>

<p>I talked to the nicest lady in admissions for about 20 mins yesterday. She told me decisions are taking much longer this semester because they no longer base decisions strictly on GPA anymore… now they accept people who are the best fit for the major they applied for. She said they really focus on the essays and resumes a lot more now rather just letting you in if your GPA is high and denying you if its low which is why you’ve seen people with 3.8’s denied and people with 3.4’s accepted. She said that the UT President became aware that people were applying for the “easier” majors knowing they’d be able to do internal transfers once they were accepted… so they have severely cracked down on that. Long story short she said that they now have to analyze every part of our applications and then determine who’s the best fit…which makes the decisions much harder…which is why its taking much longer. Sorry for the long post but I hopes this helps!!!</p>

<p>Hey guys so I have been following this feed for a while and last night my status changed. </p>

<p>I was accepted to CNS chemistry with a 3.39 gpa (first time applying)
Yes I know my gpa is low but I have over 100 hours and the past two years I have made all A’s in upper division chemistry courses. I had 5 letters on recommendations, a good resume, and very personal and in my opinion risky essays. I think the post above is accurate when they say they are looking at everything and taking a lot into consideration… I just wanted to give some hope to people that don’t have the highest gpa and let them know it’s possible! </p>

<p>As far as everyone that is still waiting to here back… Good luck and I hope everyone gets the decision that we all have been anticipating. Hook’em! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>So the 15th is the absolute latest date?</p>
