No change here this morning…
Does anyone understand the process A&M takes for reviewing students? Example…What order do they review applicants in? (i.e. order of application completion, is it by school such as school of engineering/architecture all together, etc,). Do they review a student and then put them aside to review later if they are iffy about accepting them?Or are these secrets of each university?
Just wondering if my son’s app has been sitting there gathering dust since July 3rd and we still are just waiting for a big letdown or has he possibly been looked at and they are on the fence about admitting him…sigh and double sigh.
Good luck to everyone today!
no change this am still waiting
No change here this morning
Same story different day…no change here either…I’m so tired of seeing only 3 tabs!!!
No change.
Nothing today
No change here either
Nada
No change - this is getting old.
No change here either.
@CrazyMom23 I’m not sure how it’s done across the university, but when our son applied to engineering 5 years ago they told them the earlier you apply the better your chances. That may have only applied to engineering and maybe was just the opinion of that presenter but we took it to heart and had his application in the first day. He was accepted to TAMU in mid December and to engineering in mid to late January.
Only 3 tabs still. No change. Still CS (which is good I guess)
No change here!
@CrazyMom23 @aggieXdos
My friend got into gateway and I haven’t heard back from them yet, even though I applied a month before her so I don’t think it’s by completion. I’ve got 6 tabs as of yesterday and my application is still in review unfortunately. I wish I knew the process
Six tabs indicates admission to the major under Manage Applications in Howdy.
It can take a day or two for the status to update in AIS.
I know it is frustrating, please hang in there! There are many large state universities that have not released ANY decisions yet…University of Washington, many of the Cali schools. You are not alone. Your application can be reviewed multiple times before a decision is made.
no change. 1)Biomedical Sciences 2) Public health
my friend who got accepted into UT got gateway for A&M
My daughter is still waiting on a decision, but at least she has her back-up plan on squared away. She is hoping to get into Forensic Investigative Science, so her back-up is going to TAMU-CC for at least a year and then applying as a transfer student. She was an auto-admit at Corpus Christi.
It’s strange how much more stressful this process has been for me than when I went through it many years ago. She was raised a Longhorn from birth, but has her heart set on TAMU. Keeping my fingers crossed, wanting her to get into the best school for her.
She completed and submitted her application 10/12/2017, and she had a friend that applied during Christmas holidays and they already got accepted (Full Admit) and she hasn’t heard anything out of College Station. She is starting to lose hope and resign herself to the back up plan.
Any Indians here going to TAMU?
@aggieXdos @CrazyMom23 Applying early matters for auto admits and academic admits, as Mays (and engineering used to) fill up by Nov/Dec as the auto/academic admits were admitted to the university. Applying early for review admits to the impacted majors made little difference, because they usually filled with the above.
Engineering has now gone to holistic review for the major so applicants are actually placed in the major based on their stats rather than auto filling as they get into the Uni. Still, a lot of auto/academic admits take a lot of spots, but not all of them, and more review admits do as well. More review applicants now get into engineering also with the expansion to the Galveston campus and the expansions of the engineering academies.
The freshman class for engineering is usually 3-4K and fall of 2016 had 16,551 undergraduates in the college as opposed to Mays only taking 1000 freshmen per year and 2016 had 6253 undergraduates.
Fall 2016 Total undergraduate Student Enrollment (not freshman enrollment) for majors looked like this:
Agriculture and Life Science: 7,733
Architecture: 2,983
Education and Human Development: 7,337
Engineering: 16,551
G. Bush School of Govt: 464
Geosciences: 1,476
Liberal Arts: 8,157
Mays: 6,253
Public Health: 113
School of Law: 483
Science: 3,318
Vet Med & Bio Sci: 3,186
Transition Academic Programs: 2,263
Other Special Population 118
