Hey everyone! I’m applying Early Action and had a quick question about dual credit transcripts and confirmation emails.

So, I took some Dual Credit classes in high school, which are marked with a “D” on my OFFICIAL high school transcript. I listed them in both my Common App and UT Austin application, but I didn’t submit a separate official transcript directly from the community college (Northwest Vista, if that matters). Do you think that’ll affect my Early Action consideration? My high school counselor thought it’d be fine since the “D” is on my transcript, but now I’m second-guessing.

Also, my MyStatus says everything’s complete, but I haven’t received a confirmation email saying my application’s officially under review. Is that normal? Trying not to panic here but worried this might impact my EA decision. 😅

Edit: Wanted to show where it says on the UT website to provide a DC transcript

Hey guys!

I'm a freshman from Texas Tech and I plan to transfer to UT next year. I was hoping to get some insight from y'all if I'm competitive enough. Here are my stats: 4.0 GPA, 17 credit hours complete, 16 in progress. I am a kinesiology major with a minor in sports management. I was hoping to go into Sports Management at UT. I also have a internship with the Semi-Professional Soccer team here in Lubbock in the field of Digital Marketing. I have had multiple internships in the past and I have certifications in the microsoft platforms (Word, Excel, etc)

Hey guys,

I was wondering if y'all had any advice on what I should do now to make myself an competitive candidate for Spring 2026. The major I would be applying for would be Sports Management since I am already a Kinesiology major. I have 33 hours currently as a freshman at Texas Tech and I presumably would have more by next fall. I am in only two clubs but I have a 4.0 GPA. I currently have an internship in the field of digital marketing with the Soccer Team here in Lubbock. I also have multiple previous internships in the Medical field, from 2021-2022. I also have multiple certifications in Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and other Microsoft platforms. If y'all have any advice, tips, or words of wisdom it would be greatly appreciated!

Hey y’all, I’m currently a freshman at CC and trying to transfer in to UT cockrell in the fall 2025 and was looking for some advice. I am planning on applying for Electrical engineering (Ik im screwed 😭). I am currently taking Calc 1, engineering chem and lab, as well as an elective. I am also co enrolled at Texas A&M and am taking ENGR 102. Next semester I hope to take Calc 2, physics 1 and Engr 216 for the A&M class. I also plan on taking Calc 3 in the summer. I also have lots of dual credit and some from AP. So by the end of the spring semester I should have in total more than 60 credits. I’m not sure how much that hurts me but not much I can do about it. I did mess up on some of those classes tho and my GPA is a 3.875, but it should rise if I get 4.0 this and next semester. I have joined a few clubs at CC but there’s not much that are offered that are engineering based. I’m not sure what my chances of getting in are with my course work, I am only meeting the minimum requirements with the calc and physics classes. Do I have any chance?? I also have an internship and I have some self employed work experience but nothing big. Any advice or chance of me getting in??

was looking through old posts, and saw how important having a good grade in calc 1,2 is for external transfers. I have a B in calc, but a A in everything else. (i’m a prospective government transfer)

Hello everyone, I am of Indian origin but I was born and raised in Italy. I have a bachelor degree in aerospace engineering from the university of Padua with a final mark of 94/110 and I want to do my master in mechanical engineering specialising in fluids and thermal sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. I have a score of 6.5O(R7.5 L6.5 W6.0 S6.0) in IELTS and I also have 2 years of experience in engineering job. Is this profile enough to enter in this university? also I wrote my SOP, if someone would be kind to read and comment on it that would be great.

So I will soon be graduating with a BSME with a GPA of 2.84. Throughout my whole undergrad I never really thought about grad school and just lived by the mantra of "C's get degrees". Well, that was until I became an undergrad research assistant and started working with grad students. Now I definitely want to get my MSME.

I have research experience, internship experience, and my LOR's would be from my internship manager and lab director. What are my chances of getting into the MSME online program at UT? And if I were to apply, should my statement of purpose be about my grad school revelation?

Thank you!

Hello, I’m a freshman at Texas A&M, hoping to transfer to UT next year. I started the semester aiming for a 4.0, but it looks like I might end up with a B in my Econ class. I’m debating whether to Q-drop the class to keep my GPA perfect or stick with the B and accept that my GPA won’t be a 4.0. For transferring, which would look better on my transcript—a Q-drop or taking the B? I

Hi guys, I'm applying to UT and I'm wondering if I would be considered an auto admit. My rank is 3/47 so I'm about 6.38%. I'm also applying for economics in liberal arts. Should I also say I'm ranked in the top 6% in my common app application?

I applied Early Action as a Freshman to UT this fall. I'm just wondering when decisions start to come out. I know it says the latest is January 15 and I asked an admissions officer who said January 15, but I've gotten mixed replies and have heard of people getting decisions in December.

Hello! I applied early admission and am hoping to see what y’all think about my application! I am really hoping to get into government with COLA. (This year I am taking dual and AP government.)

I also do my schools morning announcements. As for my essays, I do think they’re pretty solid. Please let me know if you have any questions!

hi everyone! earlier in the year, i used to be top 3 percent at my highschool, but my highschool also had an academy inside of it where students in the districts can take tests to attend, but we were ranked seperately till now. they made a rank policy change which caused my rank to drop drastically to around top 7 percent. this might sound like a stupid question but will UT regard something like this to explain the drastic rank change? should i include this in my apps?

Hello, I am an international applicant hoping to apply to the MSECE (PEPS) program for the summer/fall 2025 entry. My GPA has made me a bit nervous and at times i feel like it's a lost cause. UT Austin is my dream grad school but it pains to see so many good applicants (having holistic application much better than me) getting rejected. Here's what my application looks like: Four years Bachelors in Electrical Engineering 3.229 GPA with 3.445 in the last 60 CH. 8.5 IELTS GRE: Not required in this program It's pertinent to mention that i had severely poor grades in the first two years, partly because of my job and mental state at that time. I did improve significantly in the last two years, if that helps. Should i shoot my shot or will i be basically wasting my 90 dollars?

Hello! Im currently an in-state senior in high school that just recently applied to UT Austin. I have a 3.7 UW GPA, a 4.5 W GPA, and i am top 6% of my class (43/755). I took 13 AP classes and got a 1380 SAT, 5 in lang, 4 in psych, and 4 in apes. I took 3 years of varsity orchestra (first chair), placed 2nd in state for FBLA, volunteered for over 100 hours at both the houston methodist hospital youth program and memorial hermann katy hospital, president of Project CURE (nonprofit), secretary of MedLife (nonprofit), NHS, AP scholar award, and I am 2nd gen asian american. My personal essay was about struggling with autism and how that pushed me to pursue psychology.

Hello!! I am coming on here again because I have submitted my application a few days ago and I have all the stats I used.

GPA: 3.5 (UW) 4.9 (W) SAT: 1240 (i know) ECs: Marching band (numerous leadership positions) STUCO, FFA, NHS. Volunteer at local middle school to help younger flute players who don’t have access to a private teacher. Also volunteer regularly with my local girl scout troop and increased cookie sales significantly with outreach. Outreach chair (committee) for a youth camp happening in December. Have a part time job at a local business. Rank: 22/395, placing me in the top 6% so I qualify for auto admit.

Essays:

• Common App: Pretty strong, from what I have heard. I made multiple people review it and I used a unique topic and format style that will hopefully grab the AOs attention.

-Supplementals: Wrote the “why this major” on how I grew up shadowing my father on commutes who is a salesman and was taught how to use Excel and took a real interest in the finance/accounting aspect of business. When the company he worked for faced legal issues, he almost lost his job and this is what inspired me to become a corporate attorney. Wrote the EC essay on how my leadership positions in marching band taught me how leadership is giving back to others instead of putting myself on a pedestal, and how the positions inspired me to volunteer with students outside of band.

I also included an extended resume (3 pages)

I submitted my app about 1 1/2 weeks ago now, and my transcript still shows as under review. Is that normal?

Applied EA and am patiently waiting. My Status only says I met EA deadline and they'll let me know when they decide.

But received an email today that, the more I read it, the more confused I get. "The hard part is over"? Being admitted is the hard part imo. "Questions about next steps?" Yes: did I get in? And what is Strategic Enrollment Management?

I think this is just worded kinda bullish but doesn't mean anything more. But I would be very happy to be wrong.

Hi I am a senior and I submitted my EA application for UT and was wondering my chances. I have a 33 composite ACT (35 English, 35 Science, 36 Reading, and 27 Math- oops-). My UW GPA is 3.72 and weighted is a 4.3. I am in state but not even close to the top 6% percent, I am top 17%. I applied for psychology and feel good about my essays, and I had a good reason for poor grades freshman year that affected my rank which I spoke about in the optional supplemental. For my major of choice essay, I wrote about how I am interested in the field of child development or law, so I am doing psychology to take advantage of pre-law advising programs If I choose to go that route. Forgot to mention - I am doing the IB diploma at my school so my classes are all IB.

Hey, I plan on applying to UT Austin for engineering with aerospace as first choice and mechanical second choice.

I’ve seen that the cap program might be the best for me if I don’t get in at first. This is because I believe that the first year I could do it at uta or utsa while helping my family and get enough money for the second year and transfer to Ut Austin.

The only thing is that cap doesn’t assure you a spot on engineering, so I was gonna ask if getting into engineering after the cap program is possible or really hard.

Also do I have to apply for it? Or do they tell me if I’m capped if I’m rejected

I recently applied for UT and my MyStatus already says “Congratulations you qualify for Auto-Admission” then says “Your application is still being considered for your requested major. I have a pretty good resume, ranked 14/528 (2.6%), played Varsity Volleyball, was the host of our school announcements, NHS, SNHS, a ton of volunteer hours, but I am worried about my very low SAT score of 1080. Will my low score affect me getting my 1st choice major at Moody?

So I submitted my application in time for the early action deadline including an ACT score (32 Comp.). I just got my act score back from an in school act I took like 2 weeks ago just to see what I could get. I got a 34 which is super cool, but can I actually submit this score to UT now, or is it basically useless?

Hey!

I just wanted to know how competitive is the UT Austin Data Sci major… I got to know that it’s a major that was recently offered by UT last year… is it that competitive to get into as CS, since both the majors fall under the same school (College of natural sciences)?

Also for those who got in, do you mind sharing your stats pls 🙏🙏
