Spring/Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

@texas759 @rach98n thanks!

@Newsie2015 @britni12 @Clintonwk

Yes, I’ve been in review ever since 2 weeks after the deadline. My first transcript’s GPA was around a 3.65 right under 90 credit hours completed. I updated my spring transcript manually just 4 days before getting the news with 91 credit hours and a GPA of 3.67- mainly because I had just taken Calculus 1 which I’ve been told before by UT advisors to be crucial.

2-1 LORs from recent science professors- I’m pretty sure one of my professor’s LOR might have not gone through since he sent it in so late.

Wrote essays A, C, & E explaining my upbringing within my family’s small business and reconnecting with my culture.

I’m in-state from the DCCCD college system and Hispanic. (Peruvian!)

I think RTF is more based on film experience and what you have worked on.

Hey guys, im new here and was wondering if anyone could tell me if internships look good. I will be transferrimg this coming semester from Texas A&M and am participating in 5 different internships ( at hospitals and a charity clinic). Will having these internships help my application? If so, how much? Also, is the school you transfer from taken into account? For example, will a student from a community college with a 4.0 be given an advantage over me? Thanks and best of luck to all of you in the future. :slight_smile:

@RocketKid3333 honestly none of us know the admissions process and what they look at. We are all in the same boat as you so there is no point in asking

@RocketKid3333 no clue about internships, but from what I’ve heard Texas doesn’t look at institution when considering transfer students; i.e. a 4.0 at some random community college is as impressive as a 4.0 at Rice.

I don’t remember hearing this from anyone official though, so it may not be true.

Hey guys! My application is still in review and these are my stats
GPA: 3.9 @ Texas State
Major: 1. Nursing 2. Undeclared
I have a ton of extra curriculars and experience at a hospital in hs! No LOR! Solid essays

How big of a chance do I have of getting in to my first choice major?

I still haven’t been put in review yet, which is really worrying me right now. Anyone else in the same situation?

Im in the same spot @parthp97

hey guys! I just wanted to let yall know I was admitted to COLA Gov today! 3.375 gpa 2 LOR and 2 essays! Good luck to everyone and hook em!

I haven’t gotten a decision yet, but does anyone know if you can appeal the major decision? I know you can appeal entry into the university itself, but what about individual majors?

Same here @parthp97 I’m a CAP student I know many others who are not in review yet. I also know only one CAP student that admitted, and he just got admitted today.

CAP students start looking out I think acceptances are rolling out soon. A friend of mine just got into COLA undeclared today. I believe Computer science was his first choice.

Any PACE kids still not being reviewed? I know I met the GPA req (I’m staying in COLA), but I’m still nervous bcause that’s just the kind of person I am, haha

@techfan741 You have to have a significant change to your application for an appeal to work. Like if you had over 30 hours and your Spring semester grades would improve your GPA or you had courses that cover prerequisite classes that you didn’t have before. If someone screwed up your grades on you transcripts sent in originally, that’s another opportunity to appeal.

Appealing because “I really feel like I belong in this major” doesn’t work.

Makes sense. Thanks @BlueMoonArmy

I’m CAP too, and I am not in review yet. @parthp97 @DestineeMoreh

@dumbcollegekid if its based on experience then that sucks for me! I was originally a jounalism major so a lot of my ecs revolve around newspaper. i did tell them i wanted to act and direct so i do have some theatre experience on my resume. I submitted a short film with my app so hopefully that will make up a bit for my lack of experience because it at least shows that im intetested enough to make a short film.

CAP COLA (english) just got accepted today, was put in review last friday
