Spring/Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

@Amstrad Private message but please don’t spam the board

Orientation is optional for external transfers, right?

@Clintonwk I think it’s mandatory… that’s where you sign up for classes.

Orientation is still mandatory for external transfers.

Hi everyone! I’ve been following this thread for a while but had not made an account until now. I got accepted today around noon into COLA undeclared. Still can’t believe it!!! :slight_smile: I have 32 hours and 4.0 gpa from cc. Now I am just trying to figure out what I can do about fafsa. Good luck to everyone! Oh and if anyone knows a good place to look for apartments or is looking for a roommate, let me know! I do not know my way around Austin :frowning:

Congratulations to all the acceptees today!!
@mia159 Can you please state what your 1st choice major was and your stats? Thanks! :slight_smile:

Hey guys does anybody know any good techniques to use when appealing your admissions decision? I have not received a decision yet but if I don’t get in I want to be prepared

Just got back from work. I’ll update the list now

@hellcatx @mccombsorbust @jennie11 are you CAP, PACE, veteran, international or OOS?

There are new Longhorns in COLA Undeclared, Urban Studies, Psychology and International Relations.
Congrats everyone! Can’t wait to add more green to the list tomorrow! :slight_smile:

did anyone get an email that is talking about “university extension” and taking courses online for UT austin

@Newsie2015 If you want to update my info, 3.906 GPA, 41 Hours, 2 Essays, 4 LOR

@hookemlion504 okay. I’m out of time to edit. So I will do it tomorrow

@Newsie2015 I did!

Hi! According to the utaustin’s subreddit forum, they have already released the internal engineering decisions. The gpa cut offs for all engineering major (for internal transfer, that is) are also updated. I hope that means that they will release the decisions for external transfer soon.

Sorry just saw your comment! @britni12 I am transferring from Houston community college,4.0 gpa, 32 hours which I finished this spring semester. I submitted 3 essays, 1 LOR and I actually picked undeclared as my first choice, I knew McCombs was a long shot but hopefully if everything goes right I can transfer internally. I still do not have a lot of my basics complete

@Nomnomcakes what are the gpa cut offs?Just curious

@DaveCloud here’s the link (remove the spacing after http:// and before edu; go down on admission decision criteria, & click on summer/fall 2016):
http:// www.engr.utexas. edu/undergraduate/admissions/changeofmajor

@Newsie2015 urban studies was actually my first choice major and undeclared my second :slight_smile: for the info for the acceptances post so there’s no wrong info!

The internal GPAs rose dramatically for most of the engineering disciplines…can’t tell if that’s good or bad for external. On one side it could be good, because they were saying somewhere that they wanted to start cracking down on people getting accepted to COLA undeclared just in order to internally transfer to other schools within UT. On the other, it could just mean that the competition this year has increased even more so.
