Any chance those of you with 6 tabs can let the rest of us know:
when you applied
10% or review admit
major
in or OOS?
Thanks much! I’m going to be cheering all of you on while I wait on my review admit OOS non-engineering and non-Mays student to eventually hear something!
To the ones who got their 6 tabs… whoop. So excited that decisions are coming out. Right on schedule.
I see y’all posted stats here, can y’all also go post on the after accepted thread? This will help peeps in the future on timeline and we can start the chatter there about next steps!!! Housing for one. You can probably start that application.
What is all of the scales that Texas A&M rank for the CLASS RANK Sections ? Like Top Ten Percent, 1st Quarter, 2nd Quarter, 3rd Quarter. Which one comes first and which comes second ?
Top 10% is auto admit if they are instate. So that comes first assuming they got their applications in on time.
After that it goes holistic review. So the top 2 quarters and test scores will be reviewed along with essays, ECs, etc. 2nd quarter admits will need solid test scores or something that sets them apart to hear in Nov/Dec time frame. Most review admits will hear after the 1st of the year. Review admits that hit a certain threshold with scores/course rigor/ECs, will hear back starting in October, but just know these are the exceptions, not the norm. So for anyone still waiting in January/February, you are in good company.
@o_munroe For those already admitted to TAMU, you’ll probably hear back in October/November. Some get pushed to a later decision in Dec/Jan…
Unless something has changed since 2018, we can’t apply for housing until the official acceptance to A&M is made by the university. The 6 tabs is an indicator that the acceptance is coming very soon, but is not the official offer of acceptance. My youngest just got her 6 tabs this morning as well.
Here’s the timeline for last year admits. I took this from this forum so take it with a grain of salt. CC is a small pool of acceptances but we do represent the norm in regards to timing.
09/06/20: Auto admits rec’d 6 tabs (so we are about a week plus behind)
End of Sept: High scoring exams for all majors received 6 tabs
Oct. 21: Mays/Bims/Engineering and a few other holistic reviews with test scores
Oct. 28: All majors with and without test scores submitted were notified (but no data on quartile and scores).
Mid Nov: Engineering decisions/BIMS/ and some other majors (holistic)
Mays full by November
Early December: OOS started to hear (very few posted tho)
Mid Jan: Gateway/Team and Waitlist offers
Jan. 20th: Engineering for CSTAT given out.
I stopped tracking after that. But there were offers going into February.
Last year they were able to jump on housing before official acceptance. The 6 tabs opened the portal for them. TAMU may have caught on to this and shut it down for this year though.
For all the 6 tabs… Whoop! Question about the SRAR. When my son put in his weighted and unweighted GPAs in the TAMU SRAR portal, it changed his weighted GPA in the main SRAR portal to his unweighted GPA. Now if sending the SRAR to other colleges it will show the unweighted GPA. Can he update his GPA to his weighted GPA in SRAR without it affecting the SRAR that has already been submitted to TAMU?
