Thanks for all the good pathway info.
I have 2 questions….
-
In Jan if they get 7 tabs in Howdy, how can you distinguish if it is a full admit offer vs TEAM?
-
If they get Gateway, is there a min grade or GPA they must get to stay at A&M?

@Aggies9698 here’s the link on Gateway.
Definitely considered the best pathway-it’s a very small program, not many spots offered.
Blinn TEAM is considered full admit (they can live on campus, buy a sports pass, pledge fraternity & sororities). The major will change to TEAM-that’s the major offered.
Quick question for you… If my son chooses to stay on the waitlist & TEAB, but does not get full admittance, does he lose the TEAB option?
Yes. Once Teab is full, it’s full. They also offer Galveston as an option for engineering students.

It will show location in their dashboard.
If it’s gateway, it’ll show summer 2024 as term

Our a class of 26’ son received Gateway on February 11 two years ago. It was a wonderful experience! Hoping our youngest receives the same offer in a couple weeks. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

So what location does it show for Blinn TEAM? Also, will the major be what they selected or changed to something else?
It’ll say Team. Not sure about what major will show.

@Aggies9698 if a student is Blinn TEAM, that is the actual major…until they fulfill the requirements to change majors. Some sign a pathway agreement with a specific major, but until they have met all requirements from both A&M and Blinn, and been accepted into a major, their major is Blinn TEAM.
Just curious…Why you would not suggest UH ? You meant in general or you would not suggest Mays students doing UH ?

Definitely wouldn’t suggest BH and UH-no need.
UH’s biggest ‘perk/draw’ is early course registration. After that, pretty much ZERO benefits.
UH freshman required to live in Lechner or McFadden-can’t select room or roommate. There are no UH advisors, UH program seems to have a mass exodus after freshman year. They also solicit/send out mass emails for sophomores to apply…no other Honors program does that.
Major specific Honors programs are BY FAR the way to go, at TAMU.
UH is no UT Plan II Honors…not even close.

Good evening! will most decisions be out before Aggieland Saturday?
Response:
Howdy,
Thank you for your interest in Texas A&M University. Admission decisions for students in review are made on a rolling basis throughout the application period. Historically, the first round of decisions has been released in September, with all applicants receiving a decision by late February. Applying early does not guarantee an early decision. Once a decision is released it will be posted in the Applicant Information System.
Applicants who apply to the College of Engineering and have a complete admission file by the Early Action Deadline of October 15 will receive a communication regarding their admission decision by mid-December. The communication will notify the student of admission or deferral to the January-February decision timeline.
Thank you,
Office of Admissions
Did all decisions come out before march last year???

Aggieland Saturday is primarily geared towards sophomore & junior prospective students-those who will be applying. Of course current seniors can attend, but Admission doesn’t shoot to have acceptances out, in relation to Aggieland Saturday.
There have definitely been some acceptances in March the last couple years. Guaranteed on campus housing closed the 3rd week in February last year, first week in March the year before. There are always students who have to get on housing Wait List-due to being accepted after Guaranteed date or they just waited too late to pay deposit.

I apologize if this is redundant because I’ve not read every post. I just wanted emphasize that if your kiddo gets offered TEAM, take it, they are an Aggie. Period. With all the benefits of being an Aggie (go to Fish Camp, be in the Corps, access to the Health Clinic, Sports Pass, live on campus, joining student organizations, even Greek life if that’s their thing, etc…). They even get the big banner in the mail from A&M with their Aggie acceptance letter…and a bonus acceptance letter from Blinn too. You have a Blinn student ID and an Aggie ID. Our c/o '26 daughter was in TEAM for Dance Science. Per semester, she would take 6 TAMU hours (the TAMU limit for TEAM kids) and 6-9 hours at the RELLIS campus for Blinn (yes the campus bus routes go out there).
All that being said, she quickly realized she wanted to pursue a different degree so she researched the requirements for transferring into the Comm Department her after her freshman year (each department stipulates their transfer requirements on their webpage). She applied for a change of major into the Comm Department in May after finishing her second semester, was accepted in August the week before classes started, and then considered a full admit Comm major and no longer TEAM. The only downside was the tuition bill went up because those Blinn hours are considerably less expensive. 
Traditionally, staying with TEAM is a two year plan (listed as a “TEAM” major but completing classes inside your major based on your track) and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the program. They have their own New Student Conference dates where they explain all the ins and outs (and how it is possible to merge out of TEAM early) with dedicated TAP advisors whose goal is to migrate these kids into full time TAMU students. Don’t choose the waitlist if you get offered TEAM or TEAB, take it, they’re in! Celebrate! Also just FYI she saw those 7 tabs finding out she got TEAM on Jan. 25, 2022 so, like most of you, I don’t expect a big push of notifications until the last week of this month. We were in DC when our daughter applied and now in North Dakota so still waiting on those holistic reviews for OOS - good luck everyone!
P.S. I was a 2001 TAMU Mays grad and Business Honors is great I’m sure, but for Accounting majors, the PPA program is absolutely incredible. You don’t apply until your Junior year but wanted to encourage anyone not in BH that there are amazing programs inside of Mays for almost every major that are way more beneficial. Was in PPA over 20 years ago, and still benefit from opportunities because of that program!

So helpful- thank you!
Very concerned…our son was in the student directory for months, and now suddenly is not. Is this a bad sign?
