TAMU Class of 2021 - Admissions Decisions

AIS just says my app is complete and in review. But howdy changed last night. @TxSker

@TexasScubaGirl I bet your AIS will change in the next day or so to reflect admittance. Just keep checking.

@TexasScubaGirl ^^^^What @TxSker said!!! I say, you will soon be one very happy girl!! It would be super if every star and planet aligned in the admissions process but alas, it does not. Those new tabs are not an official admissions decision, it is just a step in the process, but it precedes the official decision.

Okay!! When does AIS usually update/is there a gauge of how long it will be before they update my ais?

There is no gauge of when it will the official notification will update to your AIS. When it shows up, it will be there!

My daughter’s Howdy now shows 3 new tabs (total of 6 now): My Finances, My Records and Student Life.
The AIS system shows the App status as Complete and Under Review.
Sounds like we should be cautiously optimistic?

I wonder how often they update the servers.

Congrats to those whose howdy portal has changed, that’s one step closer. Hopeful we’re next. (Of course we have been thinking that for weeks.)

Does anyone know the truth behind the Howdy portal changing on Tues and Thur nights? Or is it done automatically throughout the day?

Oh boy – went from 6 tabs for several days, down to 3 today – that doesn’t sound good


Same happened here

same happened to my son today, had 6 tabs appear on Wednesday, today they are back to 3. However, I was able to apply for housing for him yesterday and paid the deposit. When I log onto housing portal today, it still shows that his application is complete for priority housing. Makes me think that Howdy is just experiencing some glitch at this time. But still nerve-wracking!

Wow! As nerve racking as it is for the kids we parents feel it too. Just when you thought the tab change was a good sign it reverts back.

Just wondering what y’all would say my chances are of getting in as a review admit. I know it’s hard to get in as a review, and I was right on the cut off of being automatic acceptance based on my scores. I’ve been freaking out every day checking for a decision

I applied on 11/21 and all my documents reached A&M by 11/28. I should probably be an academic admit. Any idea how long it is gonna take for me to get my letter?

@Adarsh9pai No idea but let us know when you hear. My son should also be an academic admit and he applied right at the deadline so we are wondering about timing of things as well.

@Thelma2 do you have any insight in regards to the case of the “disappearing Howdy tabs”?

And do they change the Howdy tabs daily or just Tue and Thur evenings??

Does anyone know if they change the AIS during the day or at the end of the day?

@tigger68 the wait is excruciating. From reading last year post, I think AIS just changes at night and Howdy during the day. But I thought I read somewhere just Tues and Thurs
Howdy will change to 6 tabs if admitted.
