how did they got admission during winter break? did you check the ais or howdy portal?
Both @devratpatel. It so happens one of them found out on AIS and the other did on Howdy. We cross verified and both reflect the status for both of them. We don’t know when they got in but boys checked yesterday and saw it say “Admitted”

My son is still waiting … still hopeful. My question: will he be penalized for submitting a 26 ACT. A couple of his friends have already gained acceptance. Both have lower GPAs, both second quarter (so is my son) and they went test optional. Seems so unfair if that gets more weight then submitting a 26.

I’m surprised any 2nd quarters have heard. Typically not the case, especially if test optional. A 26 is average (way better than I could do). He shouldn’t be penalized. They’ll run his application stats with and without the score. If it hurts him, they’ll remove it.
What major did his friends choose that were Q2?

Well i am in the first quarter, with 4.0 GPA and a 1300 SAT but haven’t heard anything, this is bonkers.
@devratpatel you applied for Engineering tho, the other applicant is a different major.

I’m also surprised 2nd quarters have heard. We have a 2nd quarter friend… SAT in the mid 1400s, quite competitive HS, great stats… that has not heard.

We have three 2nd quarter that have been accepted:
Kinesiology - 3.95, 28 ACT
Communications - 3.8, test optional
Ag Communications - 3.8, ACT 30
that gives me hope for our friend!
That’s crazy. Never heard of 2nd qtr with those stats being accepted this early. That’s great tho. Holistic approach is working!
Unusual that they have accepted 2nd quarter students (top 26-50% ranking) before they have looked at many first quarter ranked students who are outside of the 10%. Seems to be lots of top 11-24% students still waiting to hear. The Common Data set for TAMU lists 91-92% of accepted students were within the top 25%, so only 8-9% fell into second quarter (26-50%) or lower.
