Texas A&M Class of 2029 Official Thread

GEST is NOT a pathway (not TEAM, PSA).
Doesn’t happen often, but student enters as General Studies. This is BETTER than TEAM…because timing is quicker to apply to chosen major.

Your son will work with the TAP office, to apply for change of major to International Bus or PoliSci.
This is FANTASTIC :double_exclamation_mark:

It’s definitely crazy, and something few are offered.

The TAP office has a good reputation, very helpful.
Your son needs to reach out to them-if it’s not clear-to figure out which NSC session to sign up for. Son needs to take the wheel at this point.

CONGRATS !

is this Gateway?

So, I’m assuming there is an email that will come shortly explaining the details. Do we still need to sign up for a NSC, or just wait until we get further instruction?

Yes, but it’s a specific NSC for Gateway.
Son needs to be checking his portal-all him at this point. There will be communication.

Whoop… makes way more sense that it’s gateway. Was wondering if there was a glitch with the term. Awesome news (either way was awesome though).

Congrats all.

Looks like this is the Gateway NSC. His AIS should only allow him to sign up for this session.

Does anyone know if all Gateway decisions have rolled out? Will there be another wave? I still don’t have anything yet

Thank you

Historically all gateway rolls out at once. It’s a tiny tiny group.

I just looked back to last year to finish out when decisions came out after the option email. So first week of March is when those poor TEAM only kids got their 7 tabs and admittance. Literally the longest wait ever. Others who chose both also got TEAM a week after that. Many got PSA.

If I remember correctly, your student is OOS, 2ndQ and test optional? What is his dual credit gpa?
