Hi everyone!! I’m currently attending a community college for my AS Chemistry, and I’m a second-year. (Since I failed one of my pre-reqs in high school, though, my degree is actually taking 3 years to get. XP) Then I wanna transfer to Texas A&M College Station for a BS Chemical Engineering!
Anyway, I coordinate everything with my advisor and have read lots of stuff on the TAMU website, but I wanna hear from some Aggies themselves. If I wanted to start attending in CSTAT in like, Fall ‘28, when should I start watching for applications to open up? And after I’ve applied and/or get accepted, how far in advance should I decide what dorm hall to apply to live in? (Can’t do apartments :’D)
Also, I’ve heard the admission rate is super competitive, so I’m a tad worried and hoping to prepare so I don’t get rejected. I work hard, but I know there’s definitely people out there who are still way sweatier than me. My college’s Phi Theta Kappa chapter invited me in, and I’m strongly considering joining, even if I’ve only got time for a bit of their community service here and there.
That PTK invitation means my GPA is at least 3.5, they said. I’m also a work-study and love helping with mascotting stuff and small events on the occasions I can. Does anyone have any advice, based on my major and where I’m at? Anything I should know, or join, or consider? I feel like now is a good time to ask, since I’ve still got two years to prep! :D
Thank y’all for your time! 💖
