Specifically Government but yeah anyone in general?

UT edged us hard this week

This is mostly for external transfers!!! Did anyone see a change today? If decisions come out today I’m guessing it’ll change by now or a few minutes before! Anyone see any changes I just checked and didn’t see my status change 💔

theres no way they release some decisions then ghost us for a month. hoping for something this evening

Have any transfer applicants heard back today?

are people doing this? i’ve seen that you should only submit spring grades until they ask for it/if you are accepted. has anyone already done this before getting their decision? anyone know if it boosts your chances getting in or just getting in earlier? what pros does it even come with? or are people just doing this just in case? obviously your decision will come whenever it comes but i just wanna know if it’ll do anything. seems like even without spring grades, admissions already has basically everything they need to make their decision, so not sure if its even necessary to submit those grades now.

hi guys! i am currently a cap student at utsa and was wondering how long it typically took for your transcript to show up on mystatus if you used parchment to send it? i’m aware that utsa sends our transcripts by june 1st btw i guess im just paranoid something will happen on their end so im sending it myself as well lol

I’ll be attending UT this fall as an undeclared liberal arts major but I’m determined to at least attempt an internal transfer into Cockrell. I already know it’s extremely competitive, but engineering is what I actually want to pursue in the long term. I unfortunately did not meet the Math SAT requirement by 10 points (lucky me) and so I wasn’t admitted directly into engineering.

For anyone who’s done it (or tried), what was your experience like? I’m planning to work really hard freshman year and would greatly appreciate any advice, insight, or things you wish you knew beforehand. Thanks ^_^

Does anybody believe a new wave will be released tomorrow? I’ve been excited all week for Friday just for the chance they do release Friday. But again you never know, what do y’all think?

I’m a CAP student @ UTSA right now & my application currently says:

“Your transition items have been received. Once we receive your completed transcript your application will go into review.”

I’m just getting a bit worried as the June 1st deadline is approaching and I’m not sure how to submit my transcript myself.

I’m a CAP student and my admission has been in review since May 15th. I have noticed that most of the decisions that have come out have almost always been on a Friday. Is there any reason to believe that the next wave of decisions for external transfers and CAP students will come out this Friday as well?

Yes I am aware it’s normally mid June, but it seems they have been abnormally early this year, so I’m hoping I’ll get an early decision.

I moved up significantly from my old top 5 spot. Should i email? Would they even consider it at this time?

Are we required to submit dual credit transcript as a transfer student? Even if we don’t want to claim the credit

Title

I’m a fall 2026 external transfer. This semester I got a 4.0, but I have 57 hours and don’t need to submit a spring transcript. Is there any way I can? Should I?

hi guys! i have just completed my cap year at utsa! please let me know if you have any questions about the ut cap program or utsa in general and i will do my best to answer!!

Admitted to Moody and all of the earliest orientations are Monday-Friday. Would I be on campus this long? Have events scheduled for the those weeks that cannot be moved 💔 Any advice would be appreciated!

So Ik ut is coming out with transfer decisions and when I submitted my application I realized I only included hours per week on the extended resume and not weeks per year (like they put in the common app) am I cooked..?
