@debrajohn We signed up for the roommate finder process. We would like for our son to stay in a dorm his first year. My husband knows a co-worker whose son is a Senior in Engineering at A&M. He recommended Mosher, Krueger, Aston and Hullaballoo (in that order).
and the LLCs are great for students… you have a lot of classmates in these dorms and they help each other with homework,etc… they’ll be put in classes together (not all) and so it’s just really helpful and convenient. And tutoring is great as well as @Thelma2 mentioned.
Good Morning! Has anyone received any admission decisions this morning? Seems like this week has been engineering. Haven’t heard of many other decisions. Please let us know if any of you have heard otherwise. Thank you and praying for answers soon!!
nope…we found out we were capped from UT Austin, not going to pursue with as other options full options on the table. I am hoping for some sort of closure on TAMU soon . @MominPlano
I recieved blinn team general studies today
@Txstudent28 Congratulations!! That’s fantastic! Thank you for responding.
@Txstudent28 your howdy updated today with that? Congrats!
@txstudent28 That’s fantastic, congrats. Just to be clear for all of us looking for answers on timing… are you positive this just updated today on Howdy (as in 6 tabs) or did just the major change under manage applications or did AIS update? I know… we are nosey, but just trying to find answers for all those still waiting. Haven’t heard of anyone getting Blinn after last week (aside from Engineering).
Thank you!!!
The process for room selection is different now @GManmom123 than it was for your coworkers son. It changed for class 2021.
If you sign up for an LLC, it seems you are more likely to get your preference than if you wait for your assigned time to choose.
In the case of choosing, there may be some old posts from last year that mention that by the time their student selected, their top choices were not available. So if someone doesn’t do the LLC, they need to make lists of preferences not just specific dorms. So, if you want commons, be open to all 4 dorms, if you want Modular, be open to all of them and so forth down the line. Do this before selection day so you are not having to figure it out while you window is open and rooms are snapped up while you are figuring it out.
for anyone: Once your child has accepted admissions, and you’re on FB, search for the Moms and Dads of Current Aggie questions and answers. It is a very helpful site and tons of info of parents helping parents, from medical to buying cookies and delivery, ride share, if anyone is going down from your area and you need to get something to your kid, etc. It has also been very helpful in very unfortunate circumstances that unfortunately, do happen. It’s wonderful for support. That said, if it is emergency, know that all posts are monitored so it may not post immediately so don’t use it as your only source in that kind of situation.
The page owner/moderator will ask you some questions via messenger to answer. It is for parents only. No kids or extended family. Posts are info sharing/gathering but the replies can be chatty. No “Oh my gosh, I’m so thrilled to be here, so what’s everyone’s kids major” posts. They won’t get posted. Questions and Info purposes and like I said, the replies can be very chatty.
Understand that some replies from parents with older kids may not be relevant to a lot of the newer changes, and engineering questions will get a lot of other major’s responses that don’t apply but everyone tries to be helpful. Well, most everyone. The Mod has done a great job of warning the rude commentator’s that they will be kicked out of the group.
