<p>So no @saammmaay It’s Not The Same Situation But kind of. I tried to change my major during orientation and was denied so now I am transferring </p>
<p>@135pipe oh i c. What new information helped you get accepted into UT? and what do you think CNS is exactly looking for based on ur past experience? From my personal experience i think they want Calculus 2 but I feel that every semester their criteria changes =\ Cuz from this semester’s thread I am seeing people who have gpas lower than a 3.5, no ecs, no calc 2, not that many science classes getting in and I am kinda shocked. Like i said, if my appeal doesn’t get approved i think imma go crazy cuz I just wouldn’t understand why XDDDD</p>
<p>I am going to UT in like 2 weeks. I found an apartment and everything, I just really am praying I wouldn’t have to deal with the whole internal transferring thing which is why I am appealing into CNS. </p>
<p>what kind of classes are you taking in the meantime though? Which science courses are you allowed to take despite not being in CNS right now?</p>
<p>You can the basic science classes bio chem. Science classes pre/med ones are not restricted. But some needed for majors they would be restricted. </p>
<p>I moved up from top 7% to the top 5% so I sent that in my second appeal. My process will be different from mine since yours is major wise. Cns is not that hard to internal transfer. Unless it’s computer science but the other ones won’t be as hard. You’ll be fine I am sure. I am taking chem and bio one. </p>
<p>I don’t know since I was not a transfer but that’s surprising because they want people to have science classes etc. Max
I think it’s because the major everyone is wanting to get into now is mccombs and engineering. ( I mean current freshman without majors) so these will be nearly impossible to get into if you’re transferring from another college. So I am guessing other majors aren’t as competitive. But again this is just me guessing based on freshman concerns about majors</p>
<p>Hey guys I’m still waiting to hear back from UT, but what do you think my chances are of getting into COLA, economics major with 42 credits and a gpa of 3.5? I also submitted a letter of rec from my economics professor, my essays are pretty strong, and I have a pretty nice resume.</p>
<p>@dinan5 from what I’ve read from this forum and the other ones , 3.7 is average for Econ in cola cause it’s the most competitive major in COLA , I don’t know if a 3.5 will cut it but you might get lucky and get in , Good Luck! \m/ </p>
<p>On the CNS transfer website it says we need to write “Essay A: Describing how the intended major would impact achievement of the student’s educational and career goals”. Is this the same as Topic A on Apply Texas or are we talking about a separate essay just for CNS seeking students?</p>
<p>@kyotoraz This is a separate or additional essay meant only for Transfer students. </p>
<p>So how would we send in this essay? By mail?</p>
@dinan5 internal transfer into economics is so easy. All you have to do is set up a meeting let them explain the major, sign a paper, and economics is now your major.
If we’re still under review, should we still get an upgraded UT EID to be able to look up at our financial status or should we just wait till we’re actually accepted?
Wait till your accepted ^
I got in! 3.71 GPA with 34 hours, two solid essays, one letter of recommendation and five years in Army Special Forces. COLA-Economics. I really took a big gamble by moving from Houston two weeks ago but he who dares, wins! So pumped! Good luck to everyone and I appreciate those that contributed to this website over the years!
Congratulations @NateH71!! Hook’em Horns!
Am I the only one that cant find living that isn’t $1200 a month?
Anyone else get accepted? Seems as if this spring they didn’t take many applicants…
@saborak where the hell are you looking? lol , $1200 is the max I’ve seen , i usually see from $700- $1200 , unless your looking for a 1 bedroom studio then those are expensive
It seems that many other students that applied for the fall already got accepted… does that mean that there is pretty much no hope for the ones still waiting to hear a decision for the spring?
Hey, guys. I’m a transfer student from Mississippi. I have a 4.0 on 89 credits over three semesters (including 9 hours of duel enrollment from high school) from my community college here. I’m in the Honors Program at my school and hopefully will graduate Summa Cum Laude in the spring. I’m applying to the College of Liberal Arts (music education major). What do you think my chances are?
@ivanryuu Fall 2015??? Already got decision?? Where did you get those info from?
