I was on STEP 2 for a week or so. today they finally processed the hs transcript and it moved to STEP 3.

how long until step 4 or step 5??

That can vary widely. If you are an auto-admit, it will only take a couple of weeks. If you are a review candidate, it could be anywhere between a couple of weeks to April of 2010. Based on last year's board, the strongest review candidates heard earlier by January (this included students just outside the top 10%, with really good test scores, scholarship recipients, etc). The majority of the rest of the review candidates seemed to not hear until March.

I know that's not a very comforting thought that it could still be months before you get an answer. The waiting is SO hard.

Ds was a review admit and from when he pushed the button to when he heard was either two or three weeks. If you're close (and he was), I assume it goes quicker.

my DD is one ACT point away from automatic admit.

My dd is a review admit for Fall 2010 for the college of education and has been
on step 3 since August 31 and we still haven't heard anything.

She's top 12% with a class of 1200, 28 ACT and 3.67 gpa (6.3 adjusted).

Has ANYONE heard that is a review admit for Fall 2010?

thanks,
Susan

Susan, are you asking whether someone who is a review admit has heard whether he/she is in? If so, then yes, my ds was a review admit, and he was accepted. He applied late September-early October and heard October 15 that he was in.

Yes, I was asking if any review admits for Fall 2010 had heard if they got in to A&M.

Congratulations to your son and hopefully we'll hear soon.

Thanks for your reply,
Susan

i know other real life people/review admits that have heard back already.

Interesting, Youdon'tsay, My son was auto-admit and we'd heard 2 weeks (even from an A&M admissions employee), but it was around 4 weeks before we got the letter. Applied mid-October and just got the letter this week.

did you non auto admits do essay c and submit teacher recs?

Youdon'tsay

No to teacher recs. What was the prompt on essay C? If you tell me that I might remember what he did.

MikeWozowski

Topic C (All application types)

There may be personal information you want considered as part of your admissions application. Write an essay describing that information. You might include exceptional hardships, challenges, or opportunities that have shaped or impacted your abilities or academic credentials, personal responsibilities, exceptional achievements or talents, educational goals, or ways in which you might contribute to an institution committed to creating a diverse learning environment.

YDS - can you tell me your DS basic stats?

i emailed admissions and asked if there was anything else i should do to improve my DS app. the lady said send the recs and essay c. i was thinking more along the lines of more demonstrated interest.

DD is not going to be happy if she has to do essay C.
