<p>@gibbusoft -- what do you think you'll do now? If you'd be willing to go to a summer session, it might be worth approaching TAMU about the Aggie Gateway to Success program. </p>
<p>@josh -- yes there's stilll hope. We were expecting a rejection letter, since there was no indication on the site of any sort of admittance. But, instead a big packet came. I hope you get good news soon. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>Gibbu, what are your other options? I know kids who did the Blinn Team thing and really liked it. They lived on campus, took a couple of TAMU classes and a few Blinn. I think it is mostly transparent as some TAMU kids take filler courses at Blinn anyway.</p>
<p>I got my letter near the end of march.</p>
<p>@jayengine: I called Texas A&M admissions and talked to a counselor, she said that whatever they put for your status is all they could offer you, and not possible to be offered the gateway program.</p>
<p>Off to Texas Tech, unless this 15% chance kicks in.</p>

<p>Steven, A&M's logic makes no sense to me. If the 15% chance doesn't kick in, I know you'll do well at Tech. It's a good school, and I know many who are happy there. Take care, and best wishes.</p>

<p>Is Gateway to Success the same thing as Summer I and II classes? How would I sign up for summer classes if I am accepted regularly?</p>
<p>@nevergettingin -- I don't believe so. A&M's literature describes the GtoS program as being for "provisionally admitted freshmen".</p>
<p>My nephew got waitlist also, and offered Blinn Team. He is going to go to HCC this summer and take 12 hours, then take a full load this fall and try to make good grades and transfer into A&M for the spring semester.</p>
<p>Obviously, he really wants to be an Aggie!</p>
<p>So, ag54, Is your nephew doing the Blinn Team? I am confused by your post.</p>
<p>Yes, he's going to do Blinn team, but he's going to try to get enough hours (24) to transfer into A&M asap- I think it has to do with what major he wants to go into, but I'm not sure why he isn't just doing the 2 year blinn thing.</p>
<p>Here's what he wants to do:</p>

Participating students are initially admitted to Texas A&M University on a part-time basis, and may earn full admission by several methods. Blinn TEAM students are enrolled in one academic course at Texas A&M each semester, and the remainder of their courses at the Bryan Campus of Blinn College . Students who complete 45 Blinn credit hours and 15 A&M credit hours within a two-year period, while maintaining a 3.0 grade point ratio at each school, are automatically admitted to Texas A&M. TEAM students who wish to transition to A&M sooner may compete for transfer admission when they meet transfer eligibility.

<p>Transfer eligability being 24 graded college hours (doesn't include AP credit)</p>
<p>So I've decided I'm going to Blinn regardless of my Blinn team decision, unless i get off the waitlist and accepted to A&M</p>
<p>I went to applytexas to apply to blinn junior college, but nowhere does it let me pick which campus i want to apply for</p>
<p>i am currently on the waiting list at A&M, and i was wondering if doing summer school at a community college counts towards your 60 hours at blinn team? And does your gpa you get at a community college count towards the 3.0 you have to maintain at blinn? I any one can help me out with this i would be greatly appreciated</p>
