Your friend just needs to call the transcript number listed on the website, provide the person their student id, and tell them it's going to UT. ACC is able to transmit the transcript electronically and UT should get it within a few minutes of ACC's transmission. I believe they're charging $10 now for a transcript, and he can pay over the phone.

I would advise calling back a day or two after they say it was sent just to make sure. One of mine didn't go out for some reason, and I didn't find out for a few days which made me miss a deadline.

A&M received my transcript the 26th of May for spring grade consideration. Has anyone else had their spring transcripts received but not processed yet?

In my experience, it takes about 4 days for my school to send out my transcripts and be received in about 2-4 days. However, A&M took about 10 days to post my final transcript on AIS.

Oh man oh man. This has had me on edge for a while and then I found this site.

I've been on step 3 for a while now, then step 4 and they apparently mailed me my decision on May 28th. I got the letter alright and it says they can't approve my application at the time and that they're gonna reconsider me if I send my spring grades. A&M received the spring grades on May 22nd (though they took a week to do it...). I talked to a few advisors and they said I'd get in easy. o_@ I sent everything in a bit late though, but definitely before the March 15th deadline. This is just a total mess right now and I am not happy. In fact, I'm really peeved. I guess I'll have to wait for them to reconsider me but why did they send the letter so late? If I hadn't been looking at AIS and if my advisor hadn't told me to send in my spring transcript, I mean...I'd be screwed ya?

I have a 3.89 GPA/GPR and I've taken quite a lot of math and science courses. My major is in chemical engineering and I applied to the college of engineering in chem engineering. Something has to give and it's irritating me. I'm past Calculus and into Organic Chem at my college so it's not like I've got too few relevant courses for them to look at. :x Heck, people told me my statement of purpose was great too. Dangit. Well, at least venting this makes me feel better.

I want to go to A&M but this just plain sucks.

Also where and how do you check if the spring transcript's been processed? I know they received mine but I'd like to know if it's been processed too.

EDIT: I'll admit my high school grades aren't that great, but I've been in college 2 years now.

Just FYI - They don't consider HS grades or SAT/ACT for transfer students.

Good point. I always wondered why they would want both but that makes sense.

I thought it was strange too. They're the only school I've seen that requires a HS transcript for transfer students as part of the admissions process. Most require you to get it to them by the end of your first semester if admitted.

Since we're transfer students and have attended another college/university, I guess most schools assume the original school verified you actually graduated high school.

anybody who r accepted got the acceptance package ?
best of luck for those who r still waiting....
I think most of the decisions r already made... the thing is that they haven't entered in the system yet..... I think they wanted to send all the decision at once


I've been accepted week ago but I'm still on step 3..... CS advisor told me that they'd inform about the decision to registration office from where they'd send me the official acceptance and other valuable information.....

I'm curious: has anyone who has been told they've been accepted get a letter that told them they would be reconsidered for admissions with their college spring grades transcript? Or has nothing come in the mail yet?

I wish I could somehow get in contact with my advisor in the department I want to apply to but I haven't been able to reach him at all lately! Going to keep on trying :x Good luck to everyone else as well.
