Did you receive the mail before Howdy updated?
You know, I don’t know for sure. I don’t even have access to his Howdy account because I don’t personally like to touch anything associated with A&M 
I assume we received the hard copy first because he has been on all of his accounts over the past week updating things and uploading teacher recommendation letters and he didn’t mention it.
My daughter is in review too…not aa. Re: A&M, she applied 10/1, status updated 10/4 and still waiting for the mail (holiday/weekend). Fingers crossed we are a burnt orange family!!!
@TXlove , @nrvsmom , @Sweetpotatoes12 , @UTDad1995Grad , @TxMinnie , @szrog707 , and any others of you who are showing “your application is in review”, are you auto admits? Top 6%?
@TXRunningMom My daughter is not auto-admit.
@TXRunningMom We are auto admit.
@TXRunningMom I believe we’re an auto admit but I’m not for sure because she’s right at the cut off, she’s the top 5.9 % of her class.
@TXRunningMom my daughter is an auto admit.
status just changed to “in review”…yay!
auto admit (small graduating class)
My son’s status is now “in review”. NOT auto-admit, applying for CompSci major in CNS.
Already admitted to TAMU, Colorado School of Mines.
In the Admissions portal, there is a box of 3 Recommended things for my daughter. Two of them are about the Scholarship applications and we know it will continue to say “submit a Scholarship interest form” because it said it would continue to say that even after she submitted them. BUT, then it says “Request” Admissions Recommendations. When we click it, it just gives instructions about uploading. If she has letters of recommendations or Admissions Recommendations, would this continue to say “Request” like the scholarship applications? Or Would it show in a tab under the “Done” column if she has a letter there? Also, how many “Done” things do y’all have in that column? My daughter has 12.
@TXRunningMom my DS also has 3 recomm items - the 3rd one is the “Document Upload Requests” which says this is to view status/resend/submit addtl requests. I think this is similar to the scholarship forms where it will just be there no matter what. My DS already have 2 LOR. He has 13 “done” which included a “do not require” item for transcript for his dual credit class (since this is not required as part of the application, only if admitted and after he finishes this year).
@gingytx , under the 13 Done items, does it say “Letters of Recommendation” or something like that with the 2 LORs? I’m worried that my daughter doesn’t have any because there is nothing about LORs in her “Done” section.
LOR aren’t required by UT, but may be a good idea to include in her application. Use the Document Upload System (link on the right side) to request an LOR.
@TXRunningMom yes under “Done” it is listed as Received LOR. Another place to check is to go to the My Documents tab (top right area of page). It lists all docs received and date.
@romns116 and @gingytx , thank you so much for your replies! I don’t see LOR in the Done section but I do see a “received” date stamp of 8/3/18 under My Documents. Phew, I guess that means they are “in there” somewhere! I will “try” to relax now. haha
@TXRunningMom great! What I noticed for my DS is that if he officially requested it through the MyHowdy sit, then it shows in the “Done” section. If an LOR was sent in but not as a response to an official request sent thru MyHowdy, then it does not show up in the “Done” section but it does get listed in the My Documents tab. So I think it’s just how they track what was requested thru their system vs. not. But either way, it is there. Good luck!
@gingytx , that makes a lot of sense now! Her guidance counselor sent a letter of recommendation with all the other school stuff. It is all recorded as received on the same day in the My Documents. BTW, I just realized y’all are on the TAMU thread too since you said “My Howdy” for this UT thread!! lol 
It will be fun to see where the kids end up going!
@TXRunningMom ha ha I just noticed that mistake, too. Yes, my son applied to TAMU as well and already got admitted last mid-Sept. But this wait for UT is brutal (more for me, I think).
@Mojo1995 when did she apply?
