What is your highlight that you feel will make you stand out in the review process? Essay elaborated on significant injury suffered during freshman year in varsity soccer and the long road back to full health and even greater confidence on and off the field (confirmed by being named all-district defensive MVP in sophomore year). This personal experience not only taught the importance of hard work in overcoming life’s obstacles but unexpectedly led to discovery of passion for a career in Sports Physical Therapy.

Current Status on AIS: Complete and In Review (6 tabs on Howdy as of 11/21)
Getting accepted would be such a relief for my D who has Texas A&M as her clear #1 choice. Fingers crossed!!!
Glass half empty person that I am immediately wondered if anyone ever gets 6 tabs and than gets denied? If you are declined do you just never get 6 tabs? Maybe it just happens when they pull up your file to review it? Honestly I can worse case scenario anything!
I hope AIS updates before Thanksgiving, than I would have far too many blessings to count!
I don’t remember anyone getting 6 tabs and then being denied. Not this early in the cycle. If memory servers, the 6 tabs means admittance and AIS updates later. I never recorded the time frame from tabs moving to 6 and AIS updating, so keep us posted. Within 2-3 days sounds familiar.
In February last year, there was tab movement of 6 then going back to 3 and some had majors disappearing.
@labegg I’m cautiously optimistic as well but I do know of a couple of people that found out this week last year that were non -COE and read in another thread that a candidate last year got their acceptance the day before Thanksgiving. Gotta go…I’m obsessively checking Howdy and AIS…
Looks like the quickest AIS update I’ve seen reported is 5 hours, most are within 24-48 and there are some in the 1 week plus range. I did see on the TexasAg website academic forum, an actual admission person say (virtually, without actually saying) the 6 tabs was as indication of admission and congratulate 2 posters when the posters said they had 6 tabs.
Like I said…I can worst case scenario anything!
We have not even looked at the housing options at TAMU because we didn’t want to get our hopes up. I know nothing about that process or options.
I will keep positive vibes going for everyone waiting to here anything from TAMU!
My daughter has 6 tabs today! I hope this will be an acceptance for her? Gosh, her friends have been accepted through top 10%, and the wait is so hard for her! ugh!

@helimom3 Sadly I don’t think it updates throughout the day. I believe it’s kind of an overnight thing. Don’t hold me to that, but that is what I remember seeing in the past. Definitely promising to the see the same stats my son has being admitted already though. Now if only we can get our 6 tabs!!! Cheers!
