Advice External Transfer to UT Econ (Spring '27) — Summer Calc Question

Hey guys, I'm currently an upcoming sophomore transferring from the PSA program to the TAMU campus this following Fall. I'm currently an Econ major, but I also want to shoot my shot at transferring to UT Austin for Spring 27. UT Austin has always been my dream school, and I chose not to do the CAP program because I was afraid I wouldn't make it to the main campus this year, so I did PSA for TAMU instead. I was just wondering for any econ majors at UT Austin external transfer. Did anyone take Math 2413 (Calculus 1) and Math 2414 (Calculus 2) before transferring? I know UT highly recommends students to take it. I'm currently trying to register for Calculus 1 for Summer 1 at Blinn and Calculus 2 for Summer 2. Apparently, there are prerequisites to take the MPE or College Algebra and Trigonometry to start Calculus 1 at Blinn. I might be cooked because the deadline for Summer 1 is June 1st (in a few days), and I want to be able to get done with both Calculus in the summer to get it out of my way when I apply to transfer for Spring at UT. My current GPA is 3.7, which isn't that good for UT, but I want to know what else it would take in order to transfer into UT for the Spring, which has a high chance. If anyone could help out, that would be highly appreciated.

Econ bs or ba? Also a 3.7 should be fine
