Oh yes! His SRAR was completed in early August. He was Academic Admit back in September. It was engineering review we have been waiting on.
I am so angry with TAMU. I applied early action so I could receive some EARLY ACTION from these clearly idiotic members of the admissions board. What are they doing during their working hours? Throwing darts? Practicing paper mùché?
I have received a great scholarship from Texas State (honors scholar) and I was admitted to SHSU with a full acceptance package in my mailbox within like 5 days of my application. I cannot believe this unprofessionalism. They should be embarrassed. I expected much more out of TAMU.
I would LOVE to get some sort of roll call to see how many Auto/Academic admit kids we still have that are awaiting engineering review still as of now. Judging by the lack of ACCEPTED postings I have to assume there are a LOT!
Can we get a check in with:
Date of application
Date of initial acceptance notification
SAT/ACT score
Academic or Auto
First choice is engineering - Yes
in Howdy it says âWHOOP! You have been ADMITTED Level : Undergraduate Major: ENGE Program: BAC-ENGE-EL Location: College Stationâ, but in AIS it says under review for engineering still; does this mean I am in?
@queenpencil TAMU only has Early Action for Engineering, is that what youâre waiting on? An Engineering review decision? Are you instate top 10%? Academic Admit or Review?
I am in Engineering Review as Academic admit; however, my howdy portal just changed.
Yes, I am waiting on the engineering early action. Review, in-state.
@ash980123 it means you are in!!! Congratulations??
When did you see it?
2 mins ago in school, thank you so much.
@JoeinNC OOS acceptances arenât a soft rejection. If you receive >4k in scholarships from TAMU then you will get a non-resident tuition waiver. My son (auto admit OOS, 32 act, 1Q) almost received that from auto admit scholarships so far. If your goal is instate tuition, I donât think itâs farfetched for it to happen.
@queenpencil I hope you hear back soon
@queenpencil unless you are auto or academic admit you would not necessarily have heard yet as there is no promise of a decision until February or March.
If you are Auto or Academic admit and applied early and havenât heard anything yet and you ARENâT waiting for engineering review then you should call to see if there is an issue with your application.
If you are engineering, the you must also realize that TAMU is in an entirely different league than the other two schools you mentioned.
My son has been accepted and received scholarship offers from 3 other schools that are out of state. However, TAMU and UT are his first choices so we wait for the process. Itâs nerve wracking to be sure⊠but it is a process and none of has any control.
Hello, I applied to A&M a few weeks ago and am waiting on a decision. I know I applied late (Construction Science first choice and History second) but with football and taking challenging courses I had no time left over. I also had 3 sports injuries that required many appointments and followups. I was talking to my counselor and she said that my chances of getting in are pretty low at this point but that there is still hope. TAMU is my dream school. I figured I should just ask people here. Is hoping for acceptance a lost cause or should I hang on?
OOS
Stats-
4.05 GPA, 29 ACT, 6 APâs / 2 Honors. ECâs of sports like football and coaching youth flag football for community service. School doesnât report class rank.
I am very lucky to be in a situation where my family is financially capable of paying the full out of state tuition so I am not very concerned with scholarships and total cost.
Thanks to anyone who replies.
@ash980123 Congratulations !! You are in !! Do you mind sharing when you applied and your stats ??
Okay so I posted on here a while ago but I didnât get a good idea of where I stand. This is everything I remember putting on my application, please be as honest as possible but what are my chances at full admission? Thank you in advance

@lakeywc , Congratulations on admittance and some scholarship money! May I ask what scholarship he got and how much it is worth? I thought it was pretty difficult to get that $4,000 for the tuition waiver so Iâm rooting for you!

Just for reference for those waiting for engineering review who are not auto or academic, but are total review, my son got his decision last year on February 8th. He had an option to pick an Engineering academy. He chose the Engineering Academy at Blinn. It has been fabulous! He lives on campus in the engineering community, takes two classes at Rellis (which are like 30 students so itâs so nice) and two classes on main campus. He made excellent grades his first semester and is loving it. The academies are a wonderful option. Of course high school seniors want full, but please do not let your student discount this offer without serious consideration.
He was top quarter, SAT 1360-had the math but ten points shy on verbal. All the usual extracurriculars, big high school etc.
And he applied in July, very early and it still took until February. Totally worth it!
