Thanks for the clarification. Is there any reason its showing as BAC instead of BS?
@Thelma2 rank: 14/525, Gpa; 4.256/6.000, scholastic average: 92.73, 18 college hours (only math course attempted: statistics), date admitted: 10/19/17, sorry got my UIN a few days later.
@Thelma2 sent application on 10/10, received UIN 10/12 and admitted to university on 10/19
My son is a holistic review applicant for TAMU. He selected mechanical eng and petroleum eng as first and second choice of major. I was wondering if anyone knows whether he will still get considered for admission by the university if engineering does not accept him?
@93txag You get admitted to the university first and then are looked at by The College Of Engineering. If you don’t get any sort of Blinn Academy, Gateway, or another type of admission for engineering you can choose a non-College Of Engineering Major that’s still available.
@93txag Would you please provide your son’s stats?
While it is possible he could receive admission to College Station, Engineering at Galveston is also a possibility, where applicants are offered to attend their freshman year in Galveston and complete the freshman general engineering curriculum and automatically switch to College Station for sophomore year onward, after the apply to their specific major in April of their sophomore year. The curriculum is the exact same as the general engineering students in CS.
What Evon1254 stated above is correct.

A good SAT Math score is probably the most important part. After that, Class Rank, Course Rigor, Essays etc. are also essentials.
Just got notified that I got into the Engineering Honors Program. So everyone who already completed the application and waiting should go check.
@Colaboy82 How did you find out? Where do you see it on the website?
@brazos21 To get in you have to fill out a separate application on a different site. They will notify you if you got in through that website.

I believe the honors application is part of the apply texas app for those in state or at least another part of it. Could someone correct me if I am wrong. Not sure how notifications show up though.
Honors application for Engineering is a separate application on the A&M site. Apparently, they send out the decisions on your TAMU email.

Is he an Acadamic or Holistic Review Candidate?
What are his chances?
If your DS is in the top 25% of her class, then yeah she’s academic admit.
@nilavu
He isn’t in the top 25% so he is a holistic review candidate but SAT score is really strong. Best of luck!
@Colaboy82 Did you receive the Honors notification on your TAMU email address? If so, how did you set that email up? My son did receive a TAMU email, but we can’t seem to get it verified.
@brazos21 When did you receive your admissions notification? It took 3 weeks post acceptance for my email to get processed and allowed me to sign in.
@brazos21 I did not get a notification in my email but when I went to the website my online application had said that I had been admitted and gave me the option to either accept or decline the offer.
