Former ACC student Darlene Ledesma is majoring in Business Analytics and minoring in Management Information Systems at UT Austin. Her advice to students aspiring to transfer to UT Austin:

“You should begin organizing your applications as soon as possible. Think ahead and request letters of recommendation in advance so that your recommender has time to write thoughtful answers. When it comes to essays, write something that is unique and empowering to you alone. Last but not least, be as descriptive as you can in your resume writing!”
