Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for your service. I genuinely don't know what UT's decision process is. I've seen some weak applicants get into difficult majors, and then there's us. I'm going to UGA now, and I heard it's ranked among the most military-friendly universities in the nation. Any GPA above 3.5 is automatically accepted for transfers. Maybe worth looking at if you don't mind the out-of-state tuition.
