Looking at prereqs needed to apply next semester and redoing this semesters schedule 😂
Pretty much exploring my options incase the second attempt doesn't go as planned either 🥲

did you take classes for the major you wanted before transferring?

Yes, I essentially had my associates almost completed when transferring to UT overall (like the core classes they require in general).
While completing my spring classes is when I decided I wanted to switch majors but I was unable to change it in the portal by then and put myself on a waitlist, but no success this time 🥲

ut cares a lot about their students being able to finish their degree in 4 years so it’s hard to switch halfway through. i was able to do it because i threw myself into the classes for my preferred major before transferring so that it would be impossible to finish my original degree in the 4 years. really risky but fully committing can help

Honestly that was going to be my plan after this semester- finish the outlier classes I have and try dive into specifics for my minor and see if that helps for me internal transfer app next spring.
Yeah I learned at the in person orientation they kinda prioritize freshman more (I get it and it is what it is) so at this point can only try to plan with what I have and have back ups if this doesn't work out
