Hello everyone!
Please read:
I have received the corps of cadets and scholarships and financial aid letters in the mail. I was wondering whether this meant something regarding my admission because on the Scholarships and Financial Aid Letter it directed me to go to the “My Finances” tab on howdy portal. However, I do not have the tab (I still have three tabs). What I did was click the drop-down arrow on “Applicant” and proceeded with “FInancial AId Portal”. As I scroll to the bottom I see the header “Complete Documents” and under that, it reads “you are in good academic standing” with a checkmark beside it.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thank you!
@Mandog82 It does not have any meaning as far as admittance into the university. Most likely, those letters have to do with the Corps, and there is money to be had through the Corps of Cadets. As soon as you gain admission to the university, you will have a My Finances tab.
@Thelma2 The Corps of Cadets and Financial Aid/Scholarships letters were separate. The Financial Aid/Scholarship letter had nothing to do with the Corps and did not mention anything about the Corps. In addition, the FAFSA letter was telling me to already upload required documents to proceed with the process so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with admissions. Why else would they waste paper and send me that letter? I’m just putting puzzles together haha
@Mandog82 The financial aid letter has nothing to do with your admission. The office of financial aid is entirely separate from the admissions office and anyone is applying for aid and submitted a FAFSA has a file in the financial aid registry. They sent those out to you regardless of your status. As for the bit on wasting paper… A&M just spent $75 million dollars on a football coach, what a few hundred on printer paper?
@Evon1254 True. Looks like I’m getting my hopes up too fast
It’s not admissions, sorry. Based on when you submitted your application you are in the regular decision line to hear from engineering. You will receive a decision in January. Your stats do not dictate an earlier decision, sorry to say. Galveston and Blinn Engineering Academy decisions came out shortly after classes resumed in January.

I’m in the second quarter and the major im applying for is Biology.
@TXagghopeful1
I’ll be honest you’ll probably get BlinnTeam. But it’s highly unlikely with your standardized test scores to get into the main campus.
@BuffaloMimi
You’ll get BlinnTeam as well. Second quarter really hurts your application and your standardized exam scores are below average for college station.
Can someone chance my son?
His SAT was retaken 12/2-Thanks Hurricane Harvey for allowing one more chance at it. His score hasnt updated in AIS yet.
Could there be more application acceptances in December or January? Or do you think we are waiting until Feb/Mar?

@RICHMONDAGGIE95 Mays is unlikely, as it is already full by now (spots fill up by end of Nov/early Dec). If accepted into the university, he will be placed in his second choice major.
Thanks. I hope he gets an acceptance or at least Blinn Team?

I have been looking through a ton of posts, and it seems (very) roughly that 10 points on SAT = about 1% class rank. Has anyone else seen this or something similar? (rough numbers)
@teliperez My son’s stats are just like yours. He was accepted last Friday. Hang in there. I bet you hear next wave!!!
Mays is definitely full. My son got second choice major. They are not taking auto or academic admits any more. I was told by an admissions director that the only people with a chance are national merit finalists through some kind of exception.
Your son will get accepted into the main campus and second major (Mays is full). Since your son is nearly in the top 10% and has an SAT score in the mid-acceptance range for applicants, he has a good shot to get into campus. He also did all 3 essays, which is a plus. I believe your son will get his notification back on January/February. You can always have your son to do BlinnTeam if he wants to do his first choice major.
You will get accepted into the main campus and your biology major. Your rank is nearly in the top 10% and the ACT score is average for TAMU. Your major is relatively competitive, but you have the extracurricular activities to show for it.
