I love how Tamu opens up the change of major app after semester ends. And I agree, first come. My son did it on Jan 2 and approved Jan 3rd in the morning. He had a 3.8 tho, not a 4.0 but definitely concur it is doable if you know what you must take and that you complete 30 hours!

He just got 7 tabs today. Do we have to wait until AIS updated?
Congrats!! Housing link won’t open automatically when tabs appear, might take an hour or the next day. Tell your student to keep trying until it opens. He’ll need credit card handy, and it’s a two step process.

Will it be under my finances?
No, I don’t think so. It’s been a couple years for us, and my Aggie did it all.
@TAMUMAMA can you help @claire6919 figure out where Housing portal/link is?
It’s under Student Life/Housing

@Trc5bgnd did student submit SAT or test optional?
@FriscoDad or @ChristiR93 can give the best insight for admission.

Long answer: I registered her for the SAT and just sent out when I paid for her registration. If I could take it back, I would. She retook and made a big jump and resubmitted, but it still wasn’t the great scores I am seeing on here. She was not able to retake before the December 15th deadline. I just wish I would have known not to send. I am holding myself responsible for jumping the gun and sending. Oldest child so this is new for me. I know they say if it isn’t great they won’t use it, and I truly hope that is the case. She is so well-rounded and very bright. She is an excellent student and super structured. She will be successful in college, I have no doubt. I hope they look at more than just a test score and truly weigh everything.

My D23 just got a teaser email from Tamu telling her tamu is still reviewing her application and they will be closed 12/26-1/2 - they will not release any admission decisions during this time. Relax enjoy the holidays and remember most students in review will receive an admissions decision between January 2 and late March.
She applied August 3rd
