<p>If I get no scholarships when I apply for freshman admission because of missing the scholarship deadline, how much could I get for my second year and beyond? </p>
<p>I have a 4.0 and 2300 SAT I and I will work very hard at TAMU if I attend to get a good GPA, etc. </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Although my stats aren’t as good, same situation for me!</p>
<p>Waiting for a response!</p>
<p>Are there paying positions in labs? (if so, how much?)
Is it very difficult to manage being an Resident Assistant and premed at the same time? (do RA’s at TAMU get full board expenses covered and more? How difficult is it to become an RA?)</p>
<p>And, of course, I’m waiting like Ksychic for other responses and ideas/options.</p>
<p>Our RA doesn’t do anything except hold a meeting once a semester.</p>
<p>^Are you at TAMU or UT? (your location says Austin, that’s why I’m asking)</p>
<p>OK, so becoming an RA after year 1 could be an option to get housing paid for and to stay on campus. What about scholarships, paid lab positions, etc. offered at TAMU to upperclassmen?</p>
<p>Help Please!!</p>
<p>I can understand your confusion, I’m from Austin but currently am a freshman at A&M.</p>
<p>my RA said that he doesn’t get housing fully paid (we live in a mod, the most expensive kind) but if he gets a roommate, he’ll get like $400 off of the cost. we also have regular hall meetings, and he has meetings with our floor every month. one of my RA’s works with the tour service in his off time, and gets extra money off of that; both mentioned get a regular pay check. i reckon you can get money as a T.A but one of my lab T.A’s told me that next year, non-majoring T.A’s won’t be hired (ex. botany major in botany lab only)</p>
<p>you can apply for scholarships each year, do that and don’t miss it next time</p>
<p>and also, FAFSA will help you out some usually if you are under X amount of net money</p>
<p>There will be some some scholarships for you if you do well in your first year and attain a good GPA. Probably not a lot but a decent amount.</p>
<p>As for labs, most (or all) undergraduates do research by either volunteering or for credit. Paid positions are very rare, and you would likely need experience (a lot) already to be considered.</p>
<p>Being a pre-med is just simply taking the prerequisite classes. It would not be hard at all to be both a pre-med and RA at the same time.</p>
<p>I think people are perfectly content just to get an opportunity to work in a lab to get research experience. Getting paid is unlikely. I have heard scholarships after freshman year are actually decent.</p>
<p>^Could you find out for me how much I’m looking at? I called TAMU and got vague answers such as ‘usually around 1000/not entirely sure varies/etc.’. </p>
<p>I would work my a$$ off to get a 4.0 or very close to that in my first year.</p>
<p>Once I have gone through the process, I will be able to give you more information regarding this, but as for right now I have just about as much information as you have.</p>
<p>How do you expect someone to know how much? Of course it varies. Even a 4.0 doesn’t guarantee anything…</p>
<p>In my case, I received a 1000/year scholarship from the Electrical and computer Engineering dept. for my sophomore year based on grades. Also, I have received in my junior and senior(current) years.</p>
<p>For undergraduate engineering students, you can try to become a peer teacher. Basically you help run lab sessions and help sessions. And don’t expect any extravagant pay. You have to get an A or B in the class first though…</p>
<p>As far as I know, all TA’s are graduate students…</p>
