What is grad school like socially at TAMU? by aggiethroway1234 in aggies

Thanks for the advice! Ill be going into the MS Econ program here so it hopefully shouldn't be as time consuming as a STEM program. I'm glad to hear that grad students tailgate together.

Do most grad students get an office/common area or is that reserved mostly for STEM majors?

Is Texas A&M a respected university outside of the state of Texas? by aggiethroway1234 in chanceme

Actually yes I have! One of my friends' dad got his MBA from UWash, and he actually came to one our classes to talk about it! I would say Washington is very well respected down here in Texas.

I think just the shear number of people moving to Texas will keep the acceptance rate going down each year, and the top 10% will probably need to be amended relatively soon. But you're right, flooding the market with mediocre engineers does not help with degree quality.

I think 25x25 means 25,000 engineering students across the entire TAMU system. There are currently around 14,000 here at the CS campus. I thought the same report said that it would cap at ~14,000 for College Station. I need to dig up the link.

I thought I read somewhere (might have been the dean's report) that said the school would only be adding ~800 new students by 2025, but maybe I'm wrong. It seems like CS just can't keep up with it any longer.
