Still waiting... :/ [transfer]

Colleges and Universities A-Z Texas A&M University

<p>I am currently a Freshman transfer applicant student from in-state.</p>

<p>So I applied January 13th, but my materials took all the way til February 22 to get in. (transcript issues)</p>

<p>I was changed from a first choice business major to general studies about three weeks ago because I didn't have the right amount of math classes to be reviewed. </p>

<p>Last semester, I went to McCombs School of Business at "tu" and came back home for community college for this spring semester. </p>

<p>My GPA at UT was 3.7. My dual credit grades from this community college was a 4.0.
SAT's critical score=1300 (Math 670 and Reading 630)
I didn't have community service for my freshman year though. </p>

<p>Do you think i'll be able to get in? I've been waiting for so long!</p>

<p>I’m no expert as I’m only a HS senior now, but (don’t hate me for saying this!) UT’s business school is much more highly ranked than Mays. Your GPA is great; that’s on a 4.0 scale, I’m assuming?</p>

<p>As long as your extracurrics and essays are fine, you look good to go (:</p>

<p>I’m waiting too man. Had everything done end of January. We just have to be patient.</p>

<p>I got into UT Monday, but I’m not feeling it for some reason. I’m a better fit for TAMU.</p>

<p>My GPR is a 3.95 with most of the Mays courses complete.</p>

4

<p>So why did you leave UT? money issues? </p>

<p>and @shen im pretty sure he knows Mccombs is ranked higher</p>

5

<p>I’m an international student and apply for freshman. I submitted my application last early December, but I have not heard back either.</p>

6

<p>@Shen, Yeah, it’s out of a 4.0. That’s how colleges do it. My high school did 4.5 scale though, and I had a 4.5 coming out of high school.</p>

<p>@Happy. I have a question, do you know if May’s accepts sophomores into their business programs. As in transfer internally after sophomore year? Congrats on UT though man.</p>

<p>@Pierre, A lot of people call me crazy for pulling this, but I really just didn’t like UT’s atmosphere and their business school so much… There were plenty of reasons not worth getting into. lol It wasn’t a large difference in money compared to A&M.</p>

<p>@MrPresident09 o cool ranking arent everything anyway. I know a few people that chose A&M over UT coming out of HS.</p>

8

<p>Wow, from McCombs to Mays. You have a pretty solid GPA. Do you have all the business courses completed? Pretty competitive applicant even without EC’s. Though I think happydk would get in before you.</p>

<p>@MrPresident09</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>This is what a general studies major starting at TAMU would need to internally transfer into Mays.</p>

<p>3.00 cumulative

  • At least 30 graded TAMU hours
  • No more than 75 total hours
  • A 3.0 or above on at least 4 Qualifying courses, including completion of both required math courses</p>

<p>The requirements may be a bit different for someone who transferred in, considering most people will not have nor be able to obtain at least 30 TAMU hours.</p>

<p>Assuming you’re able to take 30 hours at TAMU sophmore year while fulfilling the course requirements, getting into Mays should not be an issue.</p>

10

<p>@Xcell and Happy yeah, I’m working on most of the core requirements right now.</p>

<p>and that’s what I expect to do for my 30 hours that I expect to do as a sophomore next year, take care of all the core requirements to apply for Mays as well as the basic requirements overall. Do you think I’ll be able to take a few major specific classes without being in the business school yet? My assumption is that I wouldn’t be able to. I just hope I can so I’m not wasting time.</p>

<p>Also, I have a lot of transfer credits so staying under 75 credits will be a tight fit!
That’s what I’m worried about too.</p>

<p>@ MrPresident09</p>

<p>You should. For example, I know you can take financial and managerial accounting at most schools without being a business major and the same goes for the econs. You should be able to make finite and business cal as well.</p>

<p>When you look through the catalog, I’m sure you’ll find overlapping courses which will work towards your ultimate degree plan.</p>

12

<p>Awesome! Thanks for the help man! I’m nervous still. I just wanna find out already! lol</p>

<p>It’s just annoying that I have to work harder now because I skipped up the opportunity for Mays Business Honors out of high school! haha</p>

13

<p>Well McCombs was a good choice, no doubt. I’m assuming it came down to how you felt once you got there.</p>

<p>I was rolling through last year’s transfer thread. Looks like most people got their decisions mid-May through mid-June.</p>

14

<p>I am still waiting for TAMU decision and hope will know soon. Got into UT on 4/15 and have until 5/1 to accept it.</p>

15

<p>@ plnlin2</p>

<p>Same here. I’ll end up putting the UT deposit down unless they grant me an extension.</p>

16

<p>Ah. Thanks for all the help guys!</p>

<p>I just reached step 4… A decision was mailed on 4/19.</p>

<p>Oh man. I’m so nervous.</p>

17

<p>I’m sure you got it buddy. Congrats.</p>

<p>This waiting game is going to be the end of me.</p>

18

<p>I got accepted to tamu of my first choice - Animal Science.</p>

19

<p>A different counselor just told me that I’ll find out, probably, by the end of May. A&M is starting to get under skin.</p>

<p>My counselor said early May for Mays.</p>
