<p>Its recomended. But not required. This is from the mechanical engineering website.</p>

With respect to the last factor, academic record, the Department favorably views those students with a proven record of excellence in math, science, and engineering. In addition, the following factors generally increase the prospects of being admitted: </p>

<p>Completed a minimum of 12 Semester Credit Hours of core math/science courses from the CBK (Common Body of Knowledge). These CBK course are: ENGR 111, ENGR 112, MATH 151, MATH 152, PHYS 218, PHYS 208, CHEM 107, and ENGL 104. Course descriptions can be found at Welcome</a> To the Registrar

<p>Its not required that you complete it, but it will certainly help.</p>

<p>As for your comment about auto admit. I found this on the ESSAP website for transfers.

Carefully review the recommended courses to take (found in the two tables, Track B or D, in Catalog 130, pg. 54). Successfully complete 24 credit hours from these tables, Track D (for most engineering majors) or B (for computer science) and have a 3.0 cumulative GPR. This is required for automatic admission into the college of engineering. Minimum GPR required for transfer admission to the University is cumulative 2.25 on 24 graded semester hours of transferable course work at the time of the application.

<p>I dont know though. I never heard of an auto admit. Maybe there is...</p>

22

<p>Ohh I see, I had just assumed that it would be for all engineers heh.
What did you search to find the auto admit info on the ESSAP website? I'm trying to find one for the College of Science with no luck.</p>

23

<p>Biomed is usually really competitive. Its probley one of the hardest engineerig disiplins. Umm... ESSAP</a> - Tips for Transfer Students is the website. I went to "Prospective Students" > then looked under "Resources for Applying" and on the right column is transfer info. Click the link called "Tips for Applying - Transfers"</p>

24

<p>What about Engineering technology...is that a usually competitive field to apply for transfer into?</p>

25

<p>Its probley one of the easiest engineering programs to get into. Easy is all relative though.</p>

26

<p>so as in "easy", I know its easy academically, but how competitive?</p>

27

<p>I wasnt talking about academics... Its not as competative as the other engineering majors. For example, a friend who I goto school with transfered to A&M doing engineering technology with a 3.2 and hes not the brightest guy.</p>

28

<p>What school did he got to before he transfered?</p>

29

<p>Anybody heard anything yet? I talked to an admissions lady and she said two or three weeks or maybe sooner for people on step 3. She also said people on step 2 may be middle or late May and your major might be full by then.</p>

30

<p>I haven't heard anything yet. I check my ais daily. </p>

<p>According to TAMU :
Most transfer admission decisions are made in early May. </p>

<p>But we all know TAMU is very inaccurate in its estimations (i.e. AIS). I'll ask around and when i get word I will gladly pass it on. By the way, who exactly did you speak to amezquita05? The reason I am asking is because i dont believe TAMU has rolling admissions. I believe that TAMU probably sends all transfer decisions out collectively.</p>

31

<p>When you call they give you a lot of options and i went through current applicants, applicants checking on their status of application, applicants checking status of current applications. A lady from admissions answers and she said she was in the group that handled the transfer apps. She then asked me for my UIN and wUhen through the whole time line with me. But it seems like everyone has a different answer. I applied for fall but I am planning to attend summer hope they hurry. I'm worried Eng 111 and 112 might get full early.</p>

32

<p>I wouldn't worry about it. It says on the tamu site that there are 72 spots open lol. I doubt it is going to fill. Just wondering, how are you going to find housing?</p>

33

<p>im going to stay on an off campus apartment. why?</p>

34

<p>Jw, didnt know if stuff would be filled.</p>

35

<p>Ah I see. I sure hope that the lady you talked to is right amezquita05. The wait is killing me! If what that lady says is true, everyone that is on step 3 will be at an advantage. In that case both you and I should be happy.</p>

36

<p>anyone remember the old student directory trick? <a href="https://services.tamu.edu/directory-search/%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://services.tamu.edu/directory-search/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>by searching your name, it tells you what your major is. I guess for some this could indicate whether they got accepted into their major before them knowing on AIS. Im not sure if this is updated before AIS, but its something to look at.</p>

<p>When i searched my name on there, it came up with major TEAM. Now when i search it cant find my name. I am a blinn team student applying for transfer.</p>

37

<p>toast11, interesting link. I'll keep on trying every now and then.</p>

38

<p>Cool I'll keep that in mind toast11. Hey toast are you on step 3 as well?</p>

39

<p>it doesnt work for admitted freshmen, does it work for transfer students?</p>

40

<p>klparker312 is right. I know a couple of people admitted as freshmen and this does not work. Hopefully it works for transfer students. Looked up my name and got nothing. Waiting really sucks.</p>
