TAMS Alternate

Hi I recently applied for TAMS and got put on the wait list. One crucial fact I forgot to put on my application is that I am currently in the process of securing Grant money for my research project, but what are my actual chances of getting in? And how much will this research proposition help me out?

Hi, could you share your application? I want to gauge my chances (i did regular). I heard a lot of ppl get in but dont go, so you still might have a chance:)

I feel that my essay was pretty solid as far as my grades go…

( concerning my grades most of them are actually 94’s i can provide them if you would like)
but apparently I still have a chance at the regular admission pool also
And not in an attempt to get your hopes down but i heard apparently lots of kids get the interview

what was your sat? i heard that they consider that alot when admitting ppl

Honestly I don’t think the sat is too big a factor unless you get below a 650 in math.

Sat was a straight 1800 with 560 writing 620 reading 620 math =( i know i did horrible on it. No excuses but I was really sick that weekend :-&

That might be why 0.o

There’s still a chance you could get in. SAT was important, but I also hope that you emphasized why you want to go and stuff. Apparently they take that kind of passion to heart

Wait… are you from CFISD? Or does your school have K and L classes too?

Im from CFISD also!
What school do you attend?

I go to Cy Ranch, what about you? My name’s Michelle

Hey Suraj, I noticed you had an account as well.

I attend Cy-Woods! Sledion knows me!

Gotcha. Nice to meet ya, Suraj. I thought it was cool that we had pretty similar stats, and then I noticed you were in CFISD :smiley:

Wow so many friends! LOL
Anyways, I was wondering if any of you guys could chance me maybe :slight_smile:
