Spring/Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

I’m competitive and that statement merely implied my application materials are competitive in comparison. No reason to get all offended or assume I am saying I am better than anyone because nothing I said read that. I have not exaggerated any of my abilities or declared I was more important than anyone else.

@hookemlion504 it was just an observation is all- I wasn’t offended. I just know that sometimes text gets read different than intended, I just thought I’d share a perspective. I may have read a little much into as I had higher than normal stress going on this weekend, so my apologies. I don’t think you will have any problems getting in, as long as your essays were great :slight_smile:

@mintpopsicles That is pretty cool. Does anyone have an idea where the technology professionals like to hangout around the city? If I hear good news from the Admissions Office I plan to spend a week in Austin during late July to find a bartending or serving job, particularly at cocktail bars or fine dining restaurants.

@britni12 Thank you. I am glad everything is understood between each other. I really do want to get in, I did not even know I was going to try to transfer to Austin until November last year. UT is exactly what I want in a university.

Just wanted to wish everyone good luck this year. Last year, I was exactly in your situation, checking my status and college confidential a million times per day. I was finally accepted to McCombs in the beginning of June. Your wait will be worth it, and believe it or not, it will come to an end soon :slight_smile:

Correction… went back and looked at my timeline. Accepted on June 17th (together with a ton of other folks here at college confidential). So again, do not read too much into not getting accepted yet.

Not sure I can handle another month…but if it means there’s still hope, I guess that’s something! Thanks for the feedback @ecollin

Any international student here who has got notification of admission yet specially from CS or CNS?

@rilers likewise, what major? i think as long as your essays are solid and your gpa is high you’ll be fine! :slight_smile:

@sat4498 hello! UT Austin admissions Twitter officially stated Intl transfers will hear by the end of May

@mintpopsicles Awesome! I worked hard on the essays so that’s good to know :slight_smile: I applied as a speech pathology major, hbu?

@Ecoline what was your major

@rilers pre-public relations! fingers crossed for the both of us. what’s your gpa?

@mintpopsicles right on! I think we’ll be good it’s just the wait that’s making us doubt ): I have a 3.75 GPA! How are you with stats and essays?

@mintpopsicles considering that the intl transfers will hear at the end of May and Moody is not as competitive as say McCombs, we should hear by the beginning of June!

@rilers i think i’m pretty good. i have a 3.7, but my essays are strong and wildly personal and i have very relative work experience to the field. i also have 3 LOR’s: one from the house rep i interned with, one from my employer (who vouched for my people skills), and one from my honors history professor. despite the fact that my gpa could be higher, i think i am competitive. are you coming from a two year college? what kind of leadership experience do you have?

@mintpopsicles I am! I’m from a cc in PA so it’s a bit more competitive for me. Are you out of state as well? I was the director for the theatre productions in my cc (all theatre-related events are student-run) and helped manage the music festivals we held this year. I show a lot of experience in public speaking but very little in therapy :confused: I heard from a UT professor a GPA that is 3.7 or above gives you the greatest chance at acceptance, so I think we are at a good place especially since we put a lot of effort on our essays! I just hate the waiting

@rilers that’s awesome, i think any kind of volunteer experience is helpful. i am in-state, at austin community college. :slight_smile: the waiting is rough but we are closing in on the deadline… just a few more weeks.

Well… looks like my glimmer of hope for today was blown to bits. Tomorrow?! Pfff, who am I kidding lol June is starting to feel more like it.

@mintpopsicles Yeah! I should definitely look into volunteering…thank you :slight_smile: and that’s very true the deadline is closer than we think
