Question regarding letters of recommendationā¦ For other schools you send a invitation link for the recommender to upload their letter. My son tells me for TAMU he has to acquire the letters from the individuals and upload them himself. Is this correct? That seems weird to me.
@kmacrna Yes, that is correct. It is a bit strange and some do not like to do it that way. If someone doesnāt want to give it directly to you then they can mail it. http://admissions.tamu.edu/contact
They say to include the Document ID Sheet with the submission:

Are you an Auto-admit or Academic Admit or Review Admit: Review Admit
Major/College of Choice: 1st choice Business 2nd choice Communications
@m0tionsickn3ss Most review admits donāt get their decisions until Jan-Mar. And from what Iāve heard on here, it is very unlikely that a review admit will get into business. If youāre SAT/ACT scores were higher, you might have a better chance at Mays. However, communications you might have a shot at.
Iām sure someone else on here thatās more experienced can help you better than I can, though. Especially when it comes to Blinn or other programs.
Hi, does anyone know if SAT subject test scores should show up in AIS portal under āMy test scoresā tab. My sons subject test scores are not showing but regular SAT and ACT scores are showing. I called the office and the lady mentioned since subject test scores are not required those scores will not show in portal. Depending on who answered sometimes I get different answers from admissions. So want to make sure if anyone knows here for sure or saw the subject test scores in AIS.
My son just got a great score about SAT Math 2 Subject Test. He applied on 10/15 for early action. His current application status is āIncompleteā with the ranking as pending item.
I was wondering if he should send the score. The requirement is that everything must be received by 10/15 so Iām not sure if thereās any use to send itā¦
@KC5402 thank you, i checked but do not see anything there. My son just mentioned he got a reply back as he sent an email to admissions yesterday. They did not say why it is not in AIS, but it seems they mentioned they do have the SAT subject score on his file already.
@Tabitha18 I would recommend sending it ASAP. It does not hurt, if any it will help especially if applied to engineering. My son sent his Math2 subject SAT, 3 weeks back, but took his physics SAT only on Oct 5th. I think the results came on 10/18 and he requested college board to be sent physics score also but did not reach A&M yet.
Anyone know how quickly the White Creek Apartments fill up? I still havenāt gotten my decision and Iām worried I wonāt be able to get an apartment there if Iām accepted. Anyone suggest any alternatives for a Poli Sci major just in case?
