Unfortunately the institution you attend seems to make no difference. A 3.7 from a community college seems to perform the same as a person with a 3.7 from A&M. The only way your school will really make a difference is if you are in the CAP program.

And yes there is a pretty large difference between 28 and 30 hours. 30 hours is what is required to transfer so with 30 hours already completed your application is given priority and reviewed before peoples with less than 30.

Also it’s perfectly fine to apply for the Fall semester, you just might not want to take more than 60 hours at UTD before you apply since that can be detrimental. Your application could very well get accepted for the Spring semester, though the chances would be much better with a 3.6-3.7. Try to get as many A’s (a 4.0 if you can) as possible these next two semester and I would think you have a pretty decent shot next Fall with an upward trend and a good PS.
