I’m a transfer student from wcjc in Sugar Land, who’s first choice is Chemical Engineering, and 2nd choice is Petroleum Engineering. My question is: I’m missing Calculus 3, so what are my chances of getting accepted to UT-Austin? Currently have 39 transfer credit hours total so far from wcjc.
Transfer GPA- 3.92/4.00 (hopefully higher after completing Composition 2)
Just like everybody else, I’m currently waiting on my final decision for the Fall 2015 semester too.
Calc 1-A
Calc 2-A
U.S Hist 1-B
U.S Hist 2-A
U.S Govt 1-A
General Psychology-A
Composition 1-A
*Composition 2- taking it on June 8
General Chem 1-A
General Chem 2-A
Univ Physics 1-A
Univ Physics 2-A
@MyUTAustin Under Chemical Engineering in the link below, on Science and Technology on the 2nd page, it says that UT-Austin needs General Biology 1 and OChem 1&2. Should I be worried about my chances of getting into UT-Austin if I don’t have those courses? Why or why not?
@MyUTAustin I don’t have Calc 3 (Math 2415), so should I be worried about my chances of getting accepted for the Fall 2015 semester? because in the link attached below, under Special Notes, it says, “To be considered for transfer admission in engineering, applicants must have transferable credit for a minimum of four technical courses including MATH 2314, 2414, or 2417; MATH 2315, 2415, or 2419; and PHYS 2325+2125 (or 2425, lecture and lab count as two UT courses)”. Why or why not?
@lkj6778 , Page 2 is recommended courses, not a requirement. But after looking at your link 1, I now realize that Math 2415 needs to be completed at your own college prior to transfer since they say that the Calculus sequence needs to be completed. I myself did Math 2417 & 2419. If you enroll in 2415 now and in case, rejected, I would appeal saying this new add-on course completing the sequence.
For the total of 4 technical courses, you have Math 2413, 2414, Physics 1, Physics 2, Chem 1, Chem 2 making it a total of 6 technical courses, beating the requirement. Each course is one technical course.
I still feel you have a very strong application and me and you both should get in :).
My status has accepted my final transcript, but still says I have under 30 hours. Should I count on this changing after Monday? Also, has anyone heard of getting into COLA (philosophy major) with a 3.7? What do you guys think about my chances…
@flashdance34 read the previous page about that, it should be fixed Tuesday. Average is a 3.5 for COLA so you should be fine especially since not many people transfer for philosophy from what I’ve seen on this forum.
anyone know when CAP decisions go out? I know I’ve fulfilled all my requirements, just wondering when it becomes formal. any cap students been admitted yet?
I don’t know about you guys, but the waiting is like torture, especially with tomorrow being a holiday. Hahah at least I can tell I’m not the only one that’s dying for a decision!
a close friend of mine was not admitted into mech engineering for fall 2015, she found out in the early morning around midnight, says it wasn’t updated a couple hours earlier. Though I’m very sad she didn’t get in, it does mean they’re moving along.
@MyUTAustin can I be added to your list please? I applied for Moody Communication Studies as first choice & COLA Intl. Global Relations as second choice.
Thanks @nikecheck and congrats for your acceptance. You got in early so would already have found housing there.
@silver95 , Thanks, that’s a very important update. I had been thinking all along that they are not working weekends this year. Sad to hear about any rejections.
@gigs94 , done, I’ll post the list again tomorrow, don’t want to flood this thread with info not many people may be interested in…
@Geekytheatregeek I’m looking forward to getting the “Gone to Texas” banner as well. If I don’t get one, I’m going to call admissions or bring it up during orientation, lol. (Provided that I get in)
My younger brother was accepted for Fall 2015 way back earlier this year. He got a UT coin by mail last week. It has an antique bronze look and is sooo awesome… I want that too :((
I was going to make a trip to UT this week for a theatre competition and to check out apartments. I had to cancel because my travel partner decided against it because of the flooding and tornado warnings. I totally wanted to take the cliche picture with the banner in front of the tower lol
I wonder if I can request one lol If anyone asks about them let me know lol
