I got so lucky when I did an internal transfer to CS at UT Austin. I was an economics major and wanted to give CS a try. At the time (~2013) all I had to have was a 2.5 gpa and sign a transfer document. The next year the department exploded and kids with 4.0s and previous internships were getting denied. This was also the first year with the new Dell-Gates Computer Science building. I didn't have a class in that building until my Senior year!
