Howdy! I applied early action for engineering at Texas A&M. I’ve heard that the first wave of engineering decisions has arrived because my girlfriend got in to engineering (34 ACT). Previous years seem to suggest that the next wave will be November 21ish. I go to a competitive college preparatory school (Top 20 Catholic school in the nation) I’d appreciate anything and everything y’all have to say.
