Hi all,
I figured I would update on my thread for anyone in the future…
I guess I should say first: It is a total lie that they say 100% of students get put into a major! I was denied by ALL majors even though I had a 3.0 gpa.
So I contacted the dean of engineering and he told me the reason I was not accepted into any major was because I applied in the December ETAM which has less open spots available since not as many students are graduating. He even told me my GPA was better than a lot of students so that wasn’t the problem!
This was also my second time applying and he said it’s better to only apply once and accept a major you get the first time. My advisors made it seem like I could decline and try again a second time, but now I know that was a mistake because the majors don’t want someone who already declined them!
I cannot do interdisciplinary Engineering because you need a 3.5+ gpa to even be considered for that.
This semester I was able to bring my GPA to a 3.1. I am applying for ETAM one final time. My results will come back in July, and if I don’t get into any major I have no clue what I will do then since I have finished my 4 semesters in general engineering… I really hope my previous applications and declining will maybe overlooked if any department has a spot… I already have an apartment for the year so I can’t transfer colleges until next year.
Engineering is what I want to do and I would rather switch colleges before changing into another major despite how much I love TAMU
