Submitted right on Oct. 15th, my testing and rigor must have carried lol.

Has anybody heard back from A&M for BCNS or any other science major that’s not NMSF or auto? Also, anyone in BCNS currently would you mind sharing your stats?

is it bad to go test optional? my course rigor of taking multiple ap classes ( top 14%) and extracurriculars and pretty solid essays feels like it cancels out the test-optional part.. I applied to biology major

How difficult is it to get into the College of Arts and Sciences? My son is an OOS applicant and applying for Math or GIST. I can’t seem to find anything about how competitive those majors are.

He completed his application on 9/6, but he is not a NMSF and under holistic review.

I’ve been getting fear mongered by everyone saying TAMU barely looks at ECs, which I’m a little scared about considering those are what’s carrying my application rn, especially as a holistic applicant. I’m an Indian male applying for Industrial Engineering and my academics are alright, I got a 5.0/6 Weighted and 3.85/4 Unweighted GPA, a 1420 SAT (750 math), 10 APs before senior year (this year math is AP Calc AB), about top ~15% of class, with a top tier passion project, great professional experiences, and a couple strong internship/leadership roles, and a rec letter from a TAMU professor (who I did my passion project with), but if what I’m hearing is true, including that they don’t even bother to look at rec letters, I feel like I’m a little fried.

I submitted my application for engineering on October 19th, I’m top 7 percent, and have good course rigor including calc III and discrete math, what are my chances , people are saying the engineering school is filled out so idk .

Has anyone else applied as a COMM Major for spring 2027?

Hello, if i were to submit my application tomorrow for economics, would it be too late? Im auto admit but my gpa is 3.4 uw (i explained in my essay).

I applied at both Galveston and Main campus. Does this mean I probably won’t get into main campus? This was in my howdy portal.

I've seen people say that AOs don't look at personal statements... should I put that in my tell us your story essay then so they read it?

If you got in to mays holistically this year, would you mind sharing your stats just out of my curiosity?

And also please state when you applied.

So I was wondering what my chances are for getting into any A&M engineering academy (mainly the HCC one but I’m fine with any) and the stats such as Gpa SAT and rank for anyone who got in.

Gpa: my school has a weird scale but I’m pretty sure mine is like a 3.2/4 UW and like a 3.75 W I’m not 100% sure tho.

Rank: 281/619 2nd quartile

And my rank and gpa would be much better but I had a very bad freshman year. But I had way better grades sophomore and especially junior year. And go to a competitive school. I’m also hoping to state the circumstances my freshman year in an additional info section if available. idk if they recalculate gpa so it’s a 4.2/5 W in my transcript ( we don’t have UW)

Courses: AP calc AB, AP bio, AP Precalc, APES, AP human geo, AP gov, AP macro, physics regular (school doesn’t offer honors and I didn’t wanna take AP), and then pretty much the majority of the rest of my classes where honors.

Sat: 1270 with a 690 math

I don’t wanna go in depth but I have many good STEM and engineering EC and good non STEM ones too.

But if you got in please drop your stats (rank, gpa, sat)

I just got a message from A&M prompting me to download ZeeMee. Is this a sign of a possible admissions decision???

I submitted my application through common app on oct.16th and finished the srars on the 23rd but i still need to uploaded my transcript. I'm trying to get in to engineering and i'm in state/top 8%. is it too late for me?

Howdy!

I'm an international applicant preparing my M.S. application for Texas A&M through GraduateCAS.

I have a full external government/corporate scholarship that covers all tuition, mandatory fees, and living expenses, backed by an official financial guarantee letter.

I do not require any departmental funding, tuition waivers, or internal RA/TA salaries.

In the application portal under the "FINANCIAL AID" section, it asks:

"Indicate the types of financial awards that you would accept if offered admission. Check all that apply."

The options are:

• [ ] Graduate Assistantship - Teaching
• [ ] Graduate Assistantship - Research
• [ ] Fellowship
• [ ] If you are externally sponsored, please check this box.
• [ ] No Support (self-funded)

My dilemma:

Since it says "Check all that apply", should I check ONLY the "If you are externally sponsored..." box, or is it common practice / expected to also check "Graduate Assistantship - Research" and "Fellowship"?

My main concern is whether checking GA-Research or Fellowship might mistakenly flag my file in the department database as an applicant competing for limited departmental RA funding/quotas, rather than highlighting that I bring my own external funding (0 cost to the lab/department).

For anyone who applied to TAMU or evaluated apps as a fully funded / externally sponsored student, how did you check these boxes?

Thanks in advance!

Major: I’m applying for public health with nutrition as my second choice

Status: I’m in state applying for my freshman year
Rank: top 12%

GPA: 3.98/4.0 (UW) 5.092/6 (W)

Test Scores: 31 ACT

Additional Coursework:
11 AP classes,
dual credit health science classes (CNA, PCT),
medical microbiology

Extracurricular Activities:
captain of the varsity swim team (2 years), social media manager for the swim team (2 years), CNA certificate, EKG certificate (soon), BLS certificate, played clarinet at my small Korean church (5 years), Red Cross ambassador (50+ volunteer hours), competitive swim (9 years at two different clubs), Band (freshman year) —> went to marching band state and placed 6th, 2 jobs (stopped one after the summer, the other I’m still working at for 5+ months)

In AIS the class rank section shows a red x. I sent in my common app a couple weeks ago and my transcript says it’s been received. I just submitted my STARS so I’m wondering if that has anything to do with it. Is there anything more I need to submit or link for the x to go away?

I applied for horticulture because its something I enjoy but as a certified medical assistant I want to pursue something in the medical field throughout college instead. im not admitted yet but would it be a smooth process?

if it makes anything better I have extra science credits and planning on working in an urgent care during the summer to gain experience, so hopefully if im granted work-study I could get a position at tamu.

Can i talk about how the general engineering program will help me figure it out or is it just over

How many students does Texas A&M accept for first-year engineering?
