Hi guys im a senior right now, I applied August 8th to A&M and I applied to Public health. I still havent heard back. I have a 1300 SAT, was ranked 1st Quater, took 6 AP and 13 DC. People I know have already gotten in to public health with lower stats and I’m just confused why its taken so long for my application. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Unfortunately, it’s just the nature of how A&M does rolling admissions. Unlike many/most universities, there is no set date or timeframe for announcing decisions and for most holistic review students there does not seem to be any benefit to applying early. It’s frustrating for sure. There are a lot of issues with the way that A&M does admissions and many in the same boat. Same thing for my son who applied on August 1. Good luck!

Thanks goodluck to your son too
I think you have a decent shot at this point of at least Blinn Team. Maybe still full admit but the program isn’t large so it may be full by now. What’s 2nd choice major?
Also, what is your GPA for Dual Credit only? and did you take AP exams and get solid scores?
My Second Major was Bio and my GPA for DC was around a 3.7 it think, also passed all ap exams except 1. A&M didnt ask for most of those stats though do they matter for admission?
Right thank you for clarifying
I guess my question was what are the chances of getting into college of engineering
We read the PowerPoint for teab and the % is low
Go thru Galveston and it’s a done deal
You ETaM just like any engineering student at main campus, Galveston, academies and McAllen. There are no easier ways or harder ways. You have to meet the gpa requirement for your intended major to be guaranteed first choice.
You aren’t transferring to Tamu but transitioning to full time student. I’m not sure what stat you looked at so can’t answer specifically to that.

It’s a done deal for all engineering students regardless of where they start. They will end up at main campus full time once the go thru ETAM at the end of their freshman year typically. Some go through it sophomore year.
Your DC courses will be on your transcript and SRAR that you completed. AP and DC show course rigor. DC will count towards the 24 completed grades hours you would need in case you don’t get in and want to apply after your first semester (meaning you’d start summer or fall of sophomore year)
Do you think the bio major will be pretty full already like the public health one?
I don’t think Bio is as small as PH. @friscodad is really our stats guy. I’m the warm fuzzy person who has some knowledge on chances lol.

Biology is one of the biggest majors in TAMU. So as Public Health (after merging and discontinuing Allied Health last year).
Below left is Public Health, right is Biology. Both become very competitive as close to 65% of admitted were auto-admit.

Hi! Any insight in the Bush School of Government? It feels like there is very little information on that college and the historical timing.

Thank you so much for the Stats I really appreciate it. My only other question is I know A&M doesn’t do early action but do you know how admissions starts their holistic review though? Do they at least start at the earliest applications or do they randomly select kids to look at?
Admission office mentioned before that if a holistic applicant applies early, the application will be reviewed twice. In general, one before winter break and one after. This is the goal in treating every applicant’s life-long work with respect. In reality with the admission office extremely understaffed it will be a tall task.
Theoretically if one applies in early August or September, by now that application has already been reviewed once. Auto-admits go through the easy route of transcript and rank verification. Holistic application is somewhat unknown. All we know is they set a new standard every year for holistic applicants, passing that will get admitted to first choice and if full, then second choice. The standard requirement has increased over the last decade as the number of applicants increase every year and because of that, they focus more on student ranking, scores and course strength, something they can easily quantify in the system.
Congrats! Major and stats? Did he indicate on original application that he would consider TEAM?

His first choice was International Affairs. I’m not sure how that works for Blinn Team yet. He is most excited about joining the Corps and commissioning in the Army after college.
