Spring 2010 Transfers - Page 3

splinter · 10-14-2009, 12:29 PM

What does everyone's AIS look like? Last time I applied, in spring, it had a chart of what they needed(transcripts), it doesn't have that now, just the 'documents' tab. Everything looks like it's in, as it should be, but I'm on Step 2 "Submit required application Credentials". I only applied on Friday though.

ataboy23, keep checking your status. Sometimes it takes a couple of days for Step 5 to pop up if you have been admitted. Let us know the results! Good luck!

Question for you guys. I just got moved up to step 5 today and the application deadline hasn't even closed yet. Is that good news or bad? It says an application decision was mailed on 10/13/09.

Step five is awesome, means you now get to choose to accept or reject acceptance I believe. I got moved to step four today, says a decision was mailed on the 13th of October.... my application is still on Electrical Engineering.. for the major, got switched from Mechanical.

ataboy23 · 10-14-2009, 02:42 PM

ok, i'll keep checking. I don't even see a step 5 option though, does it just add on when you get admitted?

And aggiewannabe, I got moved to step four too and mailed yesterday as well (still in electrical engineering too), I guess we're in the same "decision party" or whatever they call it...

LiveStrongly · 10-14-2009, 02:45 PM

I meant to say step 4 and I originally applied for mechanical as well but got switched to general engineering. Probably because I am current taking calc 2 and eng physics. Let me know what happens with you. I contacted oar and like usual they couldn't help me. But I am thinking like you, why would they deny anyone before the application deadline? Anyway I am being optimistic and hopeful.

What are your GPAs? Mine is 3.31 mainly because most of my courses were taken in high school and counted as dual credit. I am just applying as transfer instead of freshman because I have enough credits.

I'm retakig 2 classes this semester, they will bump my GPA a lot, should I call A&M and let them know? Or do you think they will see from my current schedule? My app depends a lot on this. I dont want to risk waiting until Christmas break for reconsideration.

Splinter, they know. When you filled out your application there was a section where you give the classes you plan on completing prior to admission. I am retaking a class right now as well; however, I have met with my advisor about four different times before applying - so shes well aware. Have you contacted any of the advisors?

My GPA is a 3.0 on the spot, I did really bad my freshman year of college. (i had graduated from high school at age 16 and really had no academic direction) but from then on my GPA is about 3.91 from the school i transferred to after my freshman year of college. I explain most of it in my essays, so I'm hoping they look at the essays and my current trend in grades, which is pretty much all A's since that first year..... I've also completed Calculus I and II and I'm taking Engineering Physics 1, Calculus 3, and Engineering Statics right now.

Well it moved me to Step 5 and I got admitted! Thanks for the support peeps. Livestrongly and aggiewannabe, you should check yours.

Congrats to those who got in!
More dreaded waiting for the rest D:

LiveStrongly · 10-14-2009, 07:15 PM

I just got accepted and I set my date for 1/11/09

LiveStrongly · 10-14-2009, 07:23 PM

Did you guys get info about the Math Assessment test? I don't know if I have to take it or not. I received a 5 on AP calc AB and AP Statistics. Let me know if you guys have to take it.

you still have to take that math assessment test - it is just an indicator test to place you in math - don't worry about it.
