Ok thank you.
Itās not in spam, my son definitely didnāt receive it. Iām a little frustrated with their system. I emailed the contact you sent me (Crystal Riles) about this spring event way back in December. Thatās when I received the āNational Scholar Parentā mailer with a timeline of events. I emailed her asking if she could tell me the dates so we can plan to attend one. It took her 8 days to respond and this is what she said āNational Scholar programs for the spring have not been advertised yet, as we are solidifying dates. Once that occurs and we begin to plan, invitations will go out, as they did this semesterā. I just emailed her again to let her know we didnāt receive the invitation but Iām not confident that I will get a response in time to actually sign up for one of the days. Iām not sure that itās worth taking a day off from school for an all day event but I feel like we will be missing out on information that will not be available to us unless we go.
- I stand corrected, I got an immediate response from Ms. Riles and itās all taken care of *

Glad to hear it. I understand your concerns. Iām glad she responded promptly and it is resolved!
My daughter cannot do Aggieland Saturday due to a dance conflict. She decided to do the Spring Scholars event more for the opportunity to meet other admitted students than for the information provided. But, she is curious, too, to see what info they share that is different than the summer Scholars day.
I could be wrong, but
I wouldnāt expect any new or different information than what you got if you went to the summer scholars day. My son wasnāt able to attend over the summer or in the fall, so has missed out! Fortunately, he will be able to attend a day in the spring!

Yes, I told her the same. But, she still wants to be there. Sheās still trying to decide 100%, but I think the culture fit for her at TAMU is great. She wants to see that again for herself. Iām just ready for her to decide!
Glad your son can be there!
When should D sign up for NSC? Does it fill up quickly for Mays? How long should we wait?
@Mha6514 the earliest NSC sessions tend to fill up fastest. There will be certain sessions that are for Mays (not necessarily every session has Mays).
If you know for sure your kid is going to A&M, go ahead and book-NSC, hotel room. Get it on your calendar then plan the rest of your summer.
All sessions are FINE, but donāt wait for the August NSC-too hectic, conflicts with Fish Camp, Impact and just too much to do all at the same time.

Is NSC also the time to sign up for classes?
She hasnāt made her decision yet.
Yes, thatās what NSC is-registration. It is ācommittingā to A&M.

Does someone have a list of NSC dates? My DS hasnāt made a decision yet but Iām thinking it will be TAMU. We are going this week for more tours.

Not every major is offered at each NSC. Have him search on Howdy portal, to see if he can view the dates offered for his admitted major.
