Hey guys!
I applied for the College of Liberal Arts as a Psychology major before even looking at this and now I am freaking out. I have about 37 completed hours as of now, and will have 48 after the Spring semester is said and done but I had no idea letters of recommendation were necessary as transfers, and I’m missing a few of the things listed under coursework. I’m missing a communications class, as well as a history but I was planning on finishing them during the summer. Additionally, instead of taking Business Calc, I took Honors Pre Cal. I should finish out with a 4.0 (I’ve gotten nothing but As). Am I in trouble? I am absolutely terrified.
@poeticanchors you really need to check the TAMU transfer courses page on their website and make sure you have all the required courses for transfer. And my daughter did not have any letters of rec and she was granted admission to the same college and major you have applied too. She had all her required classes and a 4.0 GPA. She applied Jan 1, 2014 and was accepted after spring grades were received, due to a required math she needed to be accepted for fall 2014. So she was able to start her Sophmore year of college as an Aggie. If you haven’t made a visit as a transfer, I highly recommend you do. Keep in contact with the advisors, that is what she did. They even helped her make out her schedule to make sure she had all transferable courses to TAMU, so she didn’t waste time and money at her previous college. The Liberal Arts College was very helpful and made her feel even more excited about her transfer. We actually made a couple visits to them.

Hey y’all!
I have applied from Lone Star College. I currently have 18 hours and a GPA of 2.75. My first choice of major is sociology and second choice is women’s and gender studies. I was told from someone at the liberal arts department that my application would get deferred. Any advice?
@cctamed your application will get deferred because you don’t have the required 24hrs. Make sure to bring up your GPA this semester. If you have all the required coursework needed/completed for your major you should be fine.
How long did it take for your transcripts to be processed? A&M received my transcript on 2/20, yet it’s remained at the “yellow exclamation sign” portion of the document list meaning it was received but not yet processed.
@ecollin
As an external transfer student applying to UT Austin, were you able to choose a first and second choice major (like electrical then mechanical engineering)? Or only one major?

I got accepted to Mays for the fall semester as well!
Here are my stats –
-Major: Accounting
-GPA: 3.21 (75 hours of transferable coursework – I know 3.21 is pretty low… however, my cumulative
GPA since 2011 is 3.94. Several bad grades from a university that I attended almost 10 years ago
pulled my GPA down to 3.21 when Texas A&M calculated it.)
-Transferring from: Lone Star College System (I also went to ACC)
-5 great recommendation letters (2 ACC professors, 2 LSCS professors - one’s an A&M alumnus, and an interpreter)
-2 essays that I finished in two days… didn’t really put much work into them
-Very little volunteering
-Two years of work experience as a marketing associate and on-call cash office associate
Done with Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Calculus I. Taking Calculus II right now.
I’m guessing that A&M recognized the upward trend in my academic performance ever since I went back to school in 2011. I should mention that I’m deaf… I’ve no idea if that played a part in my acceptance to Mays. I also applied to McCombs, and I’m still waiting to hear back from UT.
Can anyone give me their opinion on me getting in?
Major: Animal Science-Production
I will have 60 hours completed after this semester and probably a 2.6 GPA
