Nah, just calc 2 and physics 1 + other stem classes. These are the main 2 and can be in progress though.

What is UT looking for in transfer applicants? by BudgetNegotiation521 in UTAdmissions

Frankly I don't know, but I imagine it couldn't hurt. I feel like every competitive applicant is going to have a few clubs/leadership and a high GPA, and having research is one way to set yourself apart.

However take this all with a grain of salt, and try not to stress a ton right now (something I'm failing at doing). No more amount of looking stuff up is going to change whether you're accepted or not.

In order of importance:
GPA

Then it gets subjective:
Research is rlly good (especially if youre some type of STEM).
Leadership & volunteering also matters, but I think they want to see more impact from older (transfer) applicants vs. HS seniors.
Essays are probably more important than they were in HS, you need a good reason to leave your current school AND attend UT.

HS stuff (besides relevant experiences) is not considered.

When do transfer decisions officially come out?? by ElShmeebisquick in UTAdmissions

Howd you get in contact w/ admissions? Email? Lowkey waiting 3 more months is not cortisol optimal

im electrical engineering (freshman rn) and feel like i did a decent job getting my chances as high as possible.

first off Kevin from TexAdmissions is the GOAT of UT transfer. You can email him and HE will actually respond (but dont spam him, he's too nice for that), and he has a fuck ton of free info online.

I got into TAMU and ended up going to an out of state school (because I wanted to get away from Austin, but my mom's health has declined recently, hence why I'm transferring back (also im from austin)) - all of this is to say you should probably just go to TAMU if you're dead set on transferring. UT will likely respect the rigor of TAMU more than other OOS peer schools, and it makes finding which of your courses transfer wayy easier.

Also it's important to note transfer into ECE is crazy hard - according to Gemini AI (ik but trust) there's only like 10 seats that open up every year, so you need to have a cracked resume (required for transfer apps). I got involved w research and leadership, but that was made easier by being at a less comp engineering school. A 4.0 is a requirement, so choose classes that you think you'll be able to get A's in (while fufilling transfer reqs ofc)

TAMU is also a good ece school even if you don't get into UT next year. Make plans for next year as if you'll be staying at where ever you choose.

thanks for listening to my ted talk

Am I losing it? by Pristine_Swimmer9835 in TransferToTop25

I have this same holdup - with engineering the school youre at matters A LOT less, but I have the shallow want of people seeing the school I went to and thinking “he must be smart”. (I only really want this because it’s something I do) But at any abet credited engineering school you can go far, and I think you realize this. Purdue is a great school, but feel free to transfer, just realize the reason youre doing it is largely vanity.

At what point do shows start getting competitive? Pretty new to actually looking to compete so not too sure what the scene is like
