Yeah I’ve never heard of that happening. They offer more than they expect to accept. I just don’t want you getting hopes up that this happens.
My son changed his major after accepted but had to email the advisor for approval before he could do it. All of this happened in December of his app year.
My daughter got into Mays today! Whoop!!

Still 3 tabs according to my son. But today he got email from TAMU asking him to upload the certificate from his Cybersecurity class for Microsoft 365 MS-500 test.
Talk about holistic review, he mentioned that in his resume.
Hope he gets good news after that!

When did she apply? My son got in today but not his first choice of Mays
OU definitely has the best recruiting/pr team out there. With their acceptance box and the constant flow of emails, they definitely know how to show the love.

Applied 10/28!
I’ve also heard that Mays is now full? It’s been telling students in the changing majors portal that they cannot select BA anymore because they aren’t accepting anymore applicants. Is that what it means?
I don’t think it works that way. But I understand the disappointment. I was surprised during our campus visit during the summer to learn that majors filled so quickly. I had never heard of that before. I expected if you got in, you would get your major. It was a shock to learn that wasn’t necessarily the case. So we made sure she applied to several schools with majors similar to Viz in case she didn’t get the VIZ major. Because she wasn’t going to go to a school if she couldn’t major in her field of interest. Although others may feel differently about this. This was important to us.
I know it’s possible but I don’t know how many people are successful in changing their major after admittance to the programs like Viz that fill quickly and easily. I’m not sure what the odds are. Perhaps someone else does.

What similar programs to Viz did y’all find? We found one at Saint Edward’s and something at UT Austin. Not sure DS wants to travel too much farther from home though.
Hi! I’m new here. My daughter is also interested in animation. There are many great animation programs-search animation top schools and you’ll find a list of the top 50 programs. Some are more art based, some more computer etc. My daughter is waiting to hear from TAMU viz but not holding our breath. She’s also waiting to hear from UTD that has a similar program. She’s in at Tech, St. Edwards, OU, Mizzou, and University of Tulsa. She’s probably going to OU because we have a family tradition there and after talking to the art and communication schools she’s certain will work for her.
