TAMS Class of 2020 Waitlist

I applied to TAMS, and, unfortunately, I was noted that I got waitlisted. To be honest, I am fairly confused - I am enrolled in Pre-AP English II, Pre-AP Chemistry, Art II Drawing, AP Computer Science A, AP Biology, AP World History, and AP Calculus AB, with an average of A+. I rank 1 out 600~ in a fairly decent school that’s properly funded. I have a SAT of 1470 (670 Reading 800 Math). I am involved in numerous extra-curricular activities, such as UIL and TSA competitions, and I also keep a good record of community services and even got accepted into the National Honor Socieity.

I think one possibility might be, as I have concluded from my short searches of waitlisting, is that I only used the admissions office to update my records instead of conducting any social relationships such as a letter of continued interest.

What are my chances of acceptance? And what should I do?

P.S. I know there’s a similar forum that has existed for the class of 2019, but I believe it’s more appropriate to start a new discussion for this generation.

I was also waitlisted and I was wondering how long I should wait until I send a letter of continued interest. I am highly interested in TAMS, as I think it would be the right fit for me. Also, @ScarletFlame, you seem very qualified to get in! Hopefully we both make it :slight_smile:

Yeah I really hope that you can get in too! I am not sure how long you should wait but last year’s conclusion was to wait for a week.

Do you have any friend who was accepted ? Can you confirm when is its due date to notify if an accepted TAMS will register TAMS or won’t ? We may guess when is next notification for waiting list based on above.

Do you have an accepted notice for waited ?

i was also unfortunately waitlisted for tams…has anybody (who were previously on waitlist) recieved acceptances yet ?

I was waitlisted too.Some of my classmates got in ,though.They said that 05/11 was the last day to either accept or decline.Keeping my fingers crossed

I was waitlisted also, and the posts on the 2019 waitlist thread had everyone posting that they got in on 5/19, so hopefully we all get in!

good luck everyone!

Does anyone in waitlist receive any new notification ?

I did not receive any notification.I read somewhere that once you are accepted ,your application status page shows that you are accepted.My status page does not show anything.

My friends, I received TAMS’ notice on acceptance 20 mins ago… Hope all of you have the same notice soon or have received already…

I got it too!
Congratulations dallas1508! See you at TAMS!Hope everyone else made it too.

Congrats @spacefighter and @dallas1508 ! See y’all at TAMS, I got the admittance letter on Wednesday too!
