Getting Accepted into Texas A&M
Texas A & M, called TAMU by students, has far more applicants than they have room for. Consequently, they have stringent guidelines for determining admission of transfer students. For more information, visit the Texas A&M website.
Notice the application deadlines: March 15 for Fall & Summer October 15 for Spring
Next look at the degree tracks and then Table 1. TAMU has a cluster of priority courses that need to be completed prior to application. These courses vary according to major, which are grouped together in “tracks” labeled from A, B, C, D, and E. In selecting students, they look at how many of these priority classes are completed as well as the grades in each.
You will need to determine what track you are in. Business majors are Track E. Liberal Arts majors are in Track A mostly. Science related majors are in Tracks B, C, and D. To determine exactly which track you will be in, select “Unique Programs-Colleges and Majors” on the website above.
In summary, if you are a Liberal Arts major (English, history, political science, psychology, theater arts, etc.) you should try to complete these priority classes before applying:
- English 1301
- Foreign Language 8hours
- Science
- Math (not college algebra)
Business majors need to complete these priority courses:
- English 1301
- Speech 1315
- Math 1324, 1325
- Accounting 2301, 2302
- Economics 2301, 2302
- Business 2302
