Anyone have any idea on how long the wait is from going complete? Has anyone been offered this cycle yet and/or had a Skype interview?

Have you been admitted? Heard anything from UT? Good luck!

I agree that I'm definitely on their low end right around their 25th percentile transfer GPA according to their 2015 509.
I'll do as you said and continue to work on the write-on. Unfortunately, I wouldn't transfer if I don't get in before OCI bids close but I'll keep sending in LOCIs every few weeks.
Thanks for the timeline you experienced.
Also, if I get in, I may PM you with some transfer questions.
Sorry to hear thatAnonymous User wrote:Bad news... Denial letter in the mail today. It was worth a shot, but I will be sticking at my current school b/c this was my only app.
They made a decision within ten days. I spoke with their admissions office in April and they told me they make a transfer decision within days normally.sf2tx wrote:Sorry to hear about that as well. How long did it take for you to hear back? I got my app in back in May but my final transcript says it was processed by LSAC this morning. Hoping to hear back before July to know whether or not I can stop paying for my apt at my old school.
Yes, they typically decide within hours to a few days. They just want to make sure you're not crazy or socially awk.sf2tx wrote:They just got back to me that I have a Skype interview, do they usually decide right after the interview?

Guy who was rejected in this thread was Top 1/3, but went to UH. Possibly have a chance, but they did say in the interview that the transfer class size would be smaller this year than pasts (looking at about 20-30 this year).ssys wrote:Hey guys. I am applying for transfer to UT as well. Just submitted application yesterday.
Currently in a out of state law school ranking T40, with a top 1/3 class ranking. Texas tie includes past working experience, this summer associate position,and family. Went to UT Law for my LL.M degree and got a professor who is willing to endorse me.
by the way, I saw from 509 form that the 50 percentile GPA transfer in is 3.4 ish. Mine is above 3.5. Do I have a chance?
I agree with you. It is definitely a stretch given I am at 1/3. I had not thought about transferring until I got some encouragement from professors.habeas2210 wrote:Guy who was rejected in this thread was Top 1/3, but went to UH.

I am not the best person to ask these questions. I would PM mister logical above, as he knows a bit about the UT transfer process. I knew I was a shoe in for UT so I didn't do any research on how they would weigh my application.ssys wrote:I agree with you. It is definitely a stretch given I am at 1/3.

What about my raw GPA, it is above their 50th percentile GPA according to 2015, 509? will this boost my application? By the way, if the endorsement is from UT law's professor, how significant will it be?
Hello Mister Logic, I need some your help. Ppl says you know some stuff about UT transfer. Would you please take a look at my credentials.mister logical wrote:Anonymous User wrote:Mister logical, you are good.

Congrats!!!! Would you mind sharing your status?caseysho wrote:Granted I applied and was accepted early but the turn around is generally no more than 10 days. The Skype interview is really easy. Just want to know basics about you, summer employment, career goals, and why Texas. If you covered all that in your personal statement then you'll basically be telling them the same thing. Don't stress. Once you get an interview you've got to be real awkward to blow it. Good luck to everyone!
I think you have a fairly good shot at being admitted, probably around 65-70%, it's difficult to say though since they're reducing the size. Top 1/3 is pretty good from 38-40, but usually top 10%-15% at the lowside is the lock-frame. Your ties are pretty solid though, and the SA is good too.ssys wrote:Hello Mister Logic, I need some your help. Ppl says you know some stuff about UT transfer.

Current law school: US law school ranking 38-40
GPA: 3.5 (higher than the 50 percentile of 1L GPA according to 2015 509)
Class rank: 1/3
Submission dates: 6/26 (very late, I know... I did not make up my mind until a few days ago)
Tie with Texas law: did my LL.M here, family and friends here, worked in Austin for more than a year, doing my summer associate position in Austin as well. Have a UT law professor as my recommendation.
Given the transfer class size shrinks, what do you think?

Yeah! Did my 1L at BU, but UT undergrad, Texas resident, and patent bar eligible. 3.51 GPA (didn't have a ranking at the time but it was around top 30%). Applied back in March but didn't hear anything until late April. Deposit is in and I registered for classes this morningssys wrote:Congrats!!!!
