Nothing from A&M but our senior is heading to Ole Miss this week for a full day, personalized tour complete with breakfast and lunch with counselors and student leaders and one on one meetings with department admins and professors. Regardless of where we end up, Ole Miss has gone above and beyond to roll out the red carpet. Auburn has been great too, but Ole Miss has really been impressive in their communication and availability.

They do a great job. I have a friend who was a tu legacy send his daughter to Ole Miss. She got into tu...but she got a full ride and then some. They send him a check every semester. Plus she got to do honors there.

Mine won't get a full ride at Ole Miss, but before it's over I think in-state tuition plus a scholarship or two may be on the table.

You also get two spouse approved Aggie road trips

Still nothing. Have a senior that would have auto admitted with test scores before they killed it, 4 year letterman and captain at 6a school, Eagle Scout, blah blah blah.

Going to Tennessee next month if nothing. They actually seem like they want to have him there.

The only auto admits are top 10 percenters

This year yes. Last year and years prior, no.

Just give it a week or so, A&M just needs to find spots for all the top 10% losers before they know for sure where to put the people they want .

My daughter has two friends who were auto admits that are taking up spots at A&M but are going to go to tu. She's been begging them to go ahead and decline the Aggie offer so those spots go to someone who wants them

I'm wondering if that's the hold up. We still have "on waitlist & considered for team Blinn". Still only 3 tabs.
Charpie

Could be. That's why when my kiddo got in, the first thing she did was go tell the other schools that she was going to attend A&M to free up money and spots for others.

We are doing our first official college visit this week at UTD. I hate Dallas and the color orange, but they seem to be building a nice school there.

Looking like my kid will be going the UTD route, what they are offering is just too good.

Anyone want a never been used A&M class of 2025 yard sign?

Congrats on the UTD offer, sounds like a great total package! We all love aTm, but the goal these days is get the best education with the least amount of debt/expense as possible.

She got a great scholarship to A&M too, but growing up in CS I think she is ready to move. The good news is I get to be a UTD football fan now too.

I'll take the sign off your hands, if you still have it! Youngest son is TAMU25.

My bad on this post, apparently I misunderstood part of the app process.

A&M has the luxury of being the best school participating in the top 10% program and a destination school for STEM majors, so they don't really need to work as hard as some of the others .

I get it but that's very disappointing.

You only send the transcript after you've been admitted.

You only send the transcript or enter your grades manually after you've been admitted?

All required documents for domestic freshmen applicants, how to get them to us and when to apply are shown at https://admissions.tamu.edu/freshman/apply. Outside of the exceptions noted on the link, the high school transcript is not required until admitted.
Charpie

To apply, you enter your grades. A transcript isn't required until AFTER you're accepted.

Just got the option of engineering in Galveston or Blinn through the portal, but it says not an offer of admission, he just had to pick an option. Getting closer or false hope?
Charpie

Getting closer. That's GOOD!

We check 3 or 4 times a day. As soon as we saw it we selected TAMU Engineering at Blinn
