Oh!!...and since im up late doing nothing here is a hint of warning to everyone here....Last semester after I applied, approximately 15 before I got my denial letter, my First AND second major choices were flipped around. This happened before my status moved from Step 3 to Step 4. I had applied for Mech Engineering first and Engineering Technology second, but as I said they were flipped so Engineering Tech was now my first choice.

I was curious as to why this happened , so I asked. Here is what I was told:

Question:
I was just wondering why my first choice was switched to my second choice. I am sure this means that I was not accepted into the first choice, but I just want to make sure this is not a glitch in the system.

Response:
When one department cannot accept you for one reason or another, then you are usually considered for your second choice major. That is why the majors flipped.

- jdendy


I think that this is proof that more than likely if your majors switch here in the next few days or so, its obvious you didnt get into your first choice.

But, here is something else. After I was denied last semester.....I drove to A&M and spoke to the department head of Engineering Tech, and he verified that they had never recieved my app. for review......

I'll let you guys ponder about what happened there b/c I dont know.

That's some BS.

Good luck Nate_Dawg162003!

My dad doesn't like that I'm transferring to A&M.
He went to Berkley...pretty self-explanatory.

1) Economics (then hopefully transfer into MIS)

My first choice was mechanical engineering and my second choice was computer engineering. I checked status this morning after recent posts and my first choice is still mechanical engineering but my second choice was changed to computer science. ***? I will be calling them tomorrow.

this is a cruel wait...

1st_aero engr
2nd_chem engr

all i know is each department will send out their acceptance at different time. it's all depend on when the departments will schedule an internal meeting to review the transfer apps. good luck to all!!! as i will need it as well...[sigh]

I can't get a straight consistent answer out of admissions. I called on Good Friday at 10:31 (refer to post #74) and got one answer and I called today at 12:45 p.m. and was told that all decisions are sent out at the same time and every transfer applicant decision should be sent between late April and mid May. By the way it was two different ladies who passed on the information to me. Maybe I'm not calling the right number isnt the admissions number (979) 458-0427 ? And then follow the options 235 or something like that.

I'm somewhat dissapointed in TAMU's inconsistency. There should be one single uniformed response. I'm at my current school and I don't know whether to start packing up my things in anticipation for Aggieland or just leave my stuff here for summer school and Fall 09.

No kidding man.
It's actually pretty ridiculous.

I know the good classes will be full by the time we hear back.

We must have made the system crash! LOL. I dont know, maybe this is a sign that decisions have been made or are being made.


I'm definately calling if the AIS isn't up by tommorow. I might have to disguise my voice because I called so much.
