I’m sure everyone who applied to Mays is still as antsy and nervous as I am for your decision. They seem to be late this year rolling out early decisions. Since we are in a competitive admissions process with only 100 accepted, I wanted to create a consolidated thread for just our department. Please post your stats in this thread, or if you’ve already done so in the primary transfer thread then state that you have. Any viewers can just click on the profile and find the stats in your replies. Be sure to include major, GPA, required coursework completed, whether MGMT 211 has been taken, transferable hours (listed on your audit), any other TCR hours you may have, extra curricular, achievements, work, etc. For example, I’ll provide my stats.

My GPA is not where I would like it to be, but I am hoping my business background and experience in the field of accounting will carry the excess needed for admission. Luckily I am a realist and understand that the cards might not be in the deck, especially after seeing most of the stats of applicants on these forums lol. Its an uphill battle, but well worth the shot.

Has anyone noticed some changes in their financial aid portal? The financial aid office is asking for a bunch of info like a student asset sheet, I called and explained my situation to the financial aid office and filled it out as they told me to. Previous years tax forms (2016 and 2017, they already have 2018) sent them in the mail they haven’t arrived yet, I did the IRS data retrieval tool on my FAFSA, and now they say I’m eligible for a $10,000 scholarship for study abroad, gives me a link to pick a study abroad program, and allows me to apply for it. Could all these changes mean a good thing? This seems like a lot of work for a student who hasn’t been accepted yet… Maybe I’m just grasping at straws here… Just wondering if anyone else has these changes happening in their financial aid portal.
in the financial aid portal, it states “HAVE YOU CONSIDERED STUDYING ABROAD? Our records indicate that you may qualify for up to $10,000 in funding to study abroad. In addition to federal and state financial aid programs, the Texas A&M Global Opportunity Fund is available to assist you with the cost of participating in an approved study abroad program. Funding is awarded by Scholarships & Financial Aid for the semester of the abroad experience. To learn about the many study abroad opportunities, visit studyabroad.tamu.edu”. When I click the link it gives me a list of study abroad programs for finance and has a button to allow me to apply at the bottom after selecting one.
@wonderlust1 I don’t think you’re being offered a scholarship, but potential financial aid. But still, that is ODD, if you haven’t even been accepted yet. Fingers crossed this means an offer is coming! ??
yes, I applied for the FAFSA in October. Go to howdy and click the drop-down menu on the applicant tab click on Financial Aid portal. Then click on Financial Aid portal link. Make sure the year in the top left under “howdy your name” is on the correct year and there you go.
@52AG82 This could be. It just showed up today. I’m just wondering why it’s now and if anyone else has it. @Aggie21 You go into howdy click the drop-down menu on the applicant tab and click financial aid portal. then click the blue link labeled financial aid portal. yes, I applied for it in October.
@wonderlust1 I haven’t applied yet because I thought I would have to be admitted in order to receive anything, and i wasn’t even positive i could apply.
