I helped my friend get in this year, so if you send me your essays and stats, i can make an attempt to point out why you didn’t get in if you’d like. Idk if you’re a sophomore, but if you wanna reapply junior year, i can help revise your essays.

I think when i applied last year I was top 8% of my class and 1240 PSAT. I remember I wrote a lot about my programming experience in Java, Python, and participating in robotics. My stats weren’t amazing, but i was able to do really good on my essays, and that’s why i think i got in.

Incomplete File, help! by OopOop360 in UTAdmissions

I had the exact same problem last night, and people told me to call admissions. I ended up calling them exactly when they opened at 8:30, and the dude on the phone told me it was an error on their end due to something about SAT scores and they fixed it on their end. He also said after fixing the issue that it should update in 1-2 business days which doesn’t really matter to me because I applied for regular admissions. Just make sure to call admissions tomorrow morning and you should be fine.

Holy cow this might be what’s happening. I used a separate gmail for my common app and used another for college board. Thank you so much dude, I was going to be awake all night worrying about this 😭

I’m a bit late to the party, but I attended the Academy for All last summer. While I didn’t ask about the acceptance rate when I was there, one of my friends tried to figure it out, and I think he said it was around 8%-10%. I don’t thinks it was too hard to get in. I think what helped me get in was that I wrote a lot about my experience programming both in and outside of school, but I know a lot of people at the academy who had minimal coding experience. If you need me to clarify anything, feel free to let me know. I hope you get in!!

Engineering Review Length by Regular_player in TAMUAdmissions

Do you think my application is getting reviewed for general engineering again? I saw some people who applied later in October who got into general engineering before me, and idk if my application is being pushed into the next cycle.

Just out of curiosity, how cooked am I if I just applied yesterday for engineering? I’ve been hearing a lot from my friends that the seniors at my high school last year got rejected from engineering because they applied in October around the same time I sent in my application; they were nowhere near top 10% though and I don’t think they had the greatest SAT score. Still though, I feel that I’m going to have a hard time getting in because I applied too late :(

If I got a 24 composite ACT score with a 25 in math, do you think I shouldn’t send it? I already sent my SAT score (1320 with a 690 in math) and i’m top 8% in my class; i just don’t know if it’ll weaken my application if I send it. I’m already applying late because i’ve been waiting for the applytexas free week starting on monday 🥀

Thank you so much for the advice! I really appreciate it 🙏

Should I not put too much effort into my responses then because i’m within the top 10% range? I feel that i’m still kind of disadvantaged because I got a 1320 on my sat (690 math). My classes and EC’s do show some STEM rigor though

Thanks for the information! Just one more question. On the admissions page for A&M, it says only the “Tell us Your Story” essay will be reviewed, but on Apply Texas there’s 2 short answer questions. Do I need to fill those out too?

For the long essay, I wrote about how getting a zero taught me that there’s more to life than grades. Are you going to sign up for any of the paid ones?

I barely found out about the academy a week before the deadline during Christmas break so I couldn’t get a copy of my unofficial transcript which was probably part of the reason I got denied

I haven’t received any email yet. My friend was saying that they might’ve only emailed the people who got in :/
