The one from this morning is my best friend’s son. Couldn’t be more proud! I know she has reached out to you, but you have no idea how helpful you’ve been! They are on cloud nine.

This gives me hope. Still
Haven’t heard a thing. Great stats so we are all just shocked and don’t know what path to take. So they were at Blinn for one year and are transferring in as sophomores?

Yes, that is correct. Most kids I work with are doing straight transfer route vs. PSA or PTA. I work with all, but the majority are straight transfer.
So doable. I hope you guys hear soon! Are y’all on the considered side or no movement side?

No movement at all. Bio major, 3.8 gpa, top 20% AP and IB classes. did not submit SAT which now regret. She’s devastated.
Don’t panic yet. Have a good plan B to keep focus forward.
Keep us posted!

Has anyone heard anything today?

Still nothing here. She was accepted to Colorado State and Tarleton. Tarleton is the backup since they have her Wildlife major and plan B is to try and transfer from there. But still hoping for admission from A&M!

Tarleton is our back up plan too!

If my son is offered PSA, would it be for Tarleton or Corpus Christi since his wanted majors are 1st - Computer Engineering or 2nd - Computer Science. Just wandering. We have heard nothing since he applied in August.
@janellejones5 PSA has specific majors that participate, Engineering isn’t one of them.
Scroll to the bottom of this link to see the participating colleges & majors.

Have you thought about the engineering academy? You would take basics at your local participating community college, and the engineering classes are taught by an A&M professor. They do several trips a year to main campus. My son is in it, and is thriving. It’s a two year program, but he will be in College Station after 3 semesters.

I will look into this. Just seeing what all our options may be. His plan B is Texas Tech.

@52AG82 If you aren’t accepted into Engineering and there isn’t PSA for Engineering, do those kiddo get a straight rejection. I know there are still other pathways such as Academy, but didn’t know what the response would be from A&M.
That I don’t know, sorry. Both major choices were Engineering, even tho everyone enters as General Engineering?
@ChristiR93 can shed some light…
Good question! My daughter is BIMS or Animal Science and they do not have a PSA pathway. She has a backup at Tech, but I’m looking at other options into A&M as well. Possibly into Blinn or our local CC and transferring in that way. Any insight to this would be appreciated.
My son is a PSA transfer (transferred last year) - he’s already changed his major twice. They want you to complete a full 12 hours (one semester) before submitting a major change request. Some majors may have prerequisites to satisfy for major change - and they may have a cap on number of hours. For example, if cap is 95 hours, and student has 98, they can’t change into that major.

I’ve applied for the same major as your daughter and haven’t heard anything, when did she apply?
