Spring/Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

Thank you!

I read the previous comment, someone said he/she got rejected, the date posted 4 weeks ago, I called the admission just now, everytime their words are exactly the same " you will know your decision shortly" … So I directly called my department, the department said if I didn’t hear from the admission means we haven’t decided yet…

@quin97 Nothing from McCombs for me as of yet. This process is is making me go crazy.

I spoke with someone on the phone yesterday and they pulled up my info and advised me that I should know in the next two weeks…SMH… I need to know now!! lol

I got in! COLA english!

Congratulations!!

Congrats !!!

Yay congrats!!! If I don’t find out by next weekend I think I might actually lose it hahah

Does anyone know the computer science engineering transfer position been fulfilled yet or I still have the chance please??

@cren91 Congratulations!!! Was it 1st choice or 2nd choice COLA, and were you notified today?

@Jeff787 you still have a chance till your denied

@DaveCloud thank you. Waiting is killing me

COLA 1st choice. Found out at about noon(I had checked at about 11:30 too)… GPA 3.43. Quite a few extracurriculars (study abroad, minor publications) 1 really good Rec… But what I’m happy about is I took a chance with my essays, one was about how I went to rehab(not how it affected my grades but about why the public perception of AA is skewed) and the statement of purpose had nothing to do with UT, and was basically a rant about various philosophers and writers that said crazy things and about how I used to think I could turn my body into a tree if I looked at one for long enough (true story).

@DaveCloud do you know that the department will object applants first or they will put the denied applants the last for the whole process?

@DaveCloud applicants*

@jeff787 this is not proven but it is my theory on how the process goes. They accept applicants with the best credentials gpa/ extra curriculars first while also denying the applicants who do not meet standards, prereqs gpa etc. then the other applicants like you and I are put into the pool and are compared to each other till and accept the best out of there till they fill up the available spots. So if your this far along you are getting compared to other students so atleast you have a chance.
Take that with a grain of salt but that’s how I imagine the process

@DaveCloud thank you for your reply. How do I know that my documents had been reviewed I mean my status never changed and no additional notes saying my documents have been reviewed. Only saying" my app is completed and in review" for two months!!
