No, I didn’t get into TCU

Apply to your local community college. After you pay for your classes, bring your receipt and class schedule to Marishia Reeves, Sadler Hall 108.

After you have 24 college hours (usually 8 classes), you can apply to TCU as a transfer student. After you have 24 college hours, TCU will look at your TCC grades, not your high school grades or SAT/ACT scores. For information about transferring to TCU, contact Joael Kelly (817.257.7490) Sadler Hall Room 212.
