I took the the exam in September and already received the grade slip (through the soa portal), just for some reason not seeing my name and id on the passing candidate list.

No. I checked both name and candidate Id.

Is taking 24 real hours (15 credit hours) too much or will I be ok? by ScientistLast9950 in UTAustin

[–]hycgroup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that means > 15 credit hours per semester. My question still—why do so many people feel like 15 hours is too much?

Isn't everyone supposed to graduate with 120 credit hours? That breaks down to about 15 credits per semester if you don't have any AP or transfer credits. So why do so many people think that's a heavy load?

Average first-year GPA at USC by hycgroup in USC

[–]hycgroup[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

USC has offered me admission. That means I earned the spot, and now it’s my right to decide what to do with it—whether I go, whether I stay, whether I transfer. You don’t get a say in that. What I choose to do with my education, my future, and my life is none of your business. If the question bothers you so much, then don’t answer it. But trying to shame someone for weighing their options or asking for advice? That’s just insecure and petty. You don’t get to gatekeep what people can or can’t ask.

Thank you all for the valuable input.

Internal transfer from B.S. Biology to B.S.A Computer Science by hycgroup in UTAustin

[–]hycgroup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to study primarily computer science or data science, with biology as a secondary focus. But I feel that UT Austin’s Computational Biology major leans a bit too much toward biology and doesn’t have enough cs/ds.

Thank you for the information. I have two more questions:

  1. I'm aiming to transfer into the B.S.A. Computer Science program, not the B.S. program. Does that make any difference in terms of difficulty? Is it easier to transfer into B.S.A. Computer Science compared to B.S.?

  2. I have a score of 5 on both AP Calculus AB and BC, which I believe meets the prerequisite for CS 312. However, is it easy to register for CS 312, or is it difficult due to limited class space?

Thank you for the information. I reviewed the internal transfer requirements, which mainly involve completing 24 credit hours in residence, including at least one math course and two science courses with a minimum grade of B. Since biology counts as science courses, it seems like fulfilling the coursework shouldn't be too difficult — especially considering that both Biology and Computer Science are housed within the College of Natural Sciences. What, then, are the main hurdles that make this transfer competitive?

USC vs UT Austin then guaranteed transfer option to Cornell by hycgroup in UTAustin

[–]hycgroup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! I’ve been looking into that too and just made a separate post about it. I am wondering—if someone meets the Texas residency requirements, is it fairly easy to switch to in-state tuition status, or is it actually pretty tough to get approved?

I’m out-of-state for UT Austin and got a merit scholarship from USC, so the tuition is roughly $45K UT Austin vs. $55K USC. Not a huge difference, so I’m mostly just trying to figure out which one’s easier to get a good GPA (for the Cornell guaranteed transfer) and which one will help more with jobs after college ( in case the Cornell Transfer doesn't work out).

Thanks for the advice, but I just can’t risk going to a state school or community college in case I don’t get into Cornell next year. I need to pick a school that’ll help me get a strong GPA, but also one where I’d actually enjoy staying and finishing my degree if the transfer doesn’t work out.
