Texas A&M Class of 2028 Official Thread

@austinmomlv to this day, I still love Jack In The Box and DQ :taco:!

Who wouldn’t love a deep fried taco?

Good evening to all of those who are reading this. So I got PSA’d from A&M, which was a bummer, however, I was recently given admission into Stony Brook (SBU) as an Information System and I was wondering if anyone knew what Information Systems exactly are and how different it is from Computer Science, friends told me the school very good but since out of state its crazy expensive, I was just wondering if anyone here knew what exactly is an Information System Major. Thank you for reading this.

Information system in general is the “IT” for most businesses. Maintaining network, hardware, security, and enterprise resource planning software. In certain degree they also need coding capabilities.

Information system has more job prospects than computer science, but slightly lower (still much higher than Arts) starting salary than computer science.

75% of computer science graduates work on IT jobs.

Top IT management can be from one with IT degree (adding some programming experience), or Computer Science degree (adding security and networking classes).

UTD has a better IT program than SBU. Did you try applying UTD?

Same!

I called and received the same information. Panicked after seeing the post that was referred to about everyone who received options getting PSA. Was relieved to hear that options were still in the running!

I’m glad you two got good info! I called as well and got someone who sounded like they were on Day 2 and read directly from a script…

Don’t forget about Hurricane Harrys! There was also some place that had karaoke on Tuesdays. Can’t remember the name.

I thought for sure it would be this morning. They like to roll out decisions on Tuesdays :frowning:

Since it’s Wednesday, I’m gonna say go back to bed and get some more sleep. :smile:

HA! I thought it was Tuesday… I’m losing my mind at this point.

@Christi1993 @FriscoDad and any others who have seen this process go through the past years, does it seem like this year had the most amount of people who chose TEAM ONLY based on Reddit comments and comments on this forum? I am just wondering if the reason behind the waiting game and if they are truly reviewing the applicants again to see which ones are the most competitive since they will not be able to give TEAM to all who selected TEAM ONLY due to more applicants selecting it this year.
