<p>@saammmaay‌ Sorry for the unclear posting… </p>

<p>Hey guys I was accepted to my first choice school, CNS- Biology on December 3, 2014! (Second time I’ve posted this.)</p>

<p>Current college is University of Texas at Tyler (I did not do the CAP program)</p>

<p>56 hours. Current GPA is a 3.46, expected GPA after fall is a 3.54</p>

<p>English 1-2, World lit, Bio 1-2, Chem 1, Precal, Statistics, Gov 1-2, Hist 1-2, Intro Psyc, Intro Philosophy, Art elective, and two engineering classes.</p>

<p>College applied for is CNS</p>

<p>1st choice major is Biology, 2nd choice major is undergraduate studies</p>

<p>In my opinion, my essays were pretty good.</p>

<p>I had one recommendation letter. (From a former UT undergraduate and law school graduate)</p>

<p>I was a United States Ambassador for two years.</p>

<p>I asked for a major change I am now accepted to COLA- Government. </p>

<p>Good luck to all I hope this helps! </p>

<p>@UTPatriot17 what were the grades you got specifically in your science/math courses? If you don’t mind sharing of course! </p>

603

<p>(Bio 1- B, Bio 1 Lab - B… Two Hard A teachers) </p>

<p>Bio 2- A</p>

<p>Bio 2 Lab- A</p>

<p>Chem 1- In Progress, but as of right now my grade looks like a B</p>

<p>Chem 1 Lab- B or C it’s still in progress though.</p>

<p>Precal- In progress… But most likely an A… I’ve taken Precal before my first semester of college and didn’t pay attention and made a D. </p>

<p>@Kooplar246‌ </p>

604

<p>I just speak with CNS Admission and she recommended me to have AT LEAST 9 credits hours for Math amd Science</p>

605

<p>@Yoohooos‌ Is that individually or all together? </p>

606

<p>bump^</p>

607

<p>do you think if i have a good chance getting my appeal into CNS biology approved if i appeal with</p>

<p>calc 1 and 2 : As in both (calc 2 is in progress)
Bio 1 and 2: As in both
Bio 1 lab: A
Bio 2 lab A- (in progress)
Physics 1: A (in progress)
Chem 1: A or A- (in progress)</p>

<p>my gpa is a 3.795 (sumthin rlly close to a 3.8) but i was rejected from CNS Bio. Im just rlly confused why I was rejected. I applied with</p>

<p>Calc 1, bio 1 &2, bio 1 lab. Maybe they wanted more math and science so if i submit an appeal with my “in progress” classes after finals are over and I get all my final grades, do you think I have a shot guys? </p>

<p>I am just rlly confused how I got rejected if i had calc 1 bio 1 and bio 2 and bio 1 lab with As in all of them.</p>

608

<p>my essays and extracurriculars are pretty decent. I dont know if they are astounding but they are not really bad. I seriously question the admissions process.</p>

609

<p>@Kyotoraz‌ @saammmaay‌ all together. You’ll have more chance of getting in if you have 9+ hours </p>

610

<p>@saammmaay OMGGGG your grades are really good for my opinion, and I think you will get in if you can keep those A on your final report and appeal. IDK what would happen to me since you got reject with those stats (I applied for Summer 2015). But I think you’ll get in with your new stat</p>

611

<p>I have a question about the Cal 2. Is that multiple calculus or not?</p>

612

<p>@Yoohooos hopefully! DX Ill post my results as soon as my appeal gets a decision. This is CLEARLY ridiculous. </p>

<p>@kevin1201 what do you mean by multiple calculus? im not too sure what that means. </p>

613

<p>@kevin1201‌ No, Calculus II is single variable integrals only. Calculus III is multivariable. </p>

<p>Has anyone here been accepted or rejected into CS yet? I’m really not sure what’s taking so long. I have about 80+ hours, a 4.0 GPA, I’ve taken pretty much every class on the transfer curriculum and gotten an A, decent essays, 2 LoRs, and even my own CS projects which I linked to on my resume.</p>

614

<p>multivariable okay! Thanks!</p>

615

<p>@ivanryuu‌ OMGGGG I think you’ll probably get in for CS or even Cockrell. Look at you stat and I don’t think I’ll get in since it’s so many competitive applicant.</p>

616

<p>@saammmaay‌ Thanks a lot, Biology Major?</p>

617

<p>@ivanryuu‌ I am applying for CS as well, didnt hear back yet. I have:
3.9/4.0
80+ hrs
Good essays
A’s in majority of CS classes
4 LOR’s (all good) - one LOR is from a UT electrical engineering alumn
Software Engineering intern at Hewlett Packard last summer
Worked at Intel summer before that
Teaching assistant for Computer Science for a school year at my current school
Programmer on my First tech challenge robotics team in high school
Decent # of coding projects on my github</p>

618

<p>@arkarind wow very impressive! I haven’t had any internships yet but I was teaching Java EE for a semester so that should count for something I hope, and as you, I was also the programmer + many other jobs in my hs robotics.</p>

<p>It does make me feel somewhat better to know that more people are on the same boat as I am.</p>

619

<p>Now I’m thinking about changing my major, lollll.</p>

620

<p>So does anyone know when we should really expect to hear something? I’m going to live off campus and the housing I chose needs to know asap. I’m getting really worried. </p>
