Don't worry. Once they told you, especially in WORDS, it means they are allowed to do it. I am sure You r not the only one who knows the rank.
I actually thought there were would be fewer declined seats since we have a more desirable campus option this year. If I'd had the choice to go to CS, I wouldn't have blinked before signing the papers.I'm about to send in my declination for the class of 2018 for College Station. I'd think that because this year is a bit different, with 33 students being placed in College Station, that there will be more declination's than usual.
In fact, so far nobody in Kingsville declines their spot, but CS does.

I agree. I would have liked to live in college station since it would have clearly been a better area, but I felt the course work was going to be challenging enough, much less to be doing it via distance learning. Face to face contact trumps all in my opinion. So for this reason that is why I chose kingsville and I'm happy with my choice.That's exactly what I was thinking! Between the option of Kingsville or College Station (for lack of a better term, the "real" A&M campus), why would anyone choose Kingsville? I thought everyone was going to choose CS, and a few of the people I met at interviews also chose CS.
But I thought about it some more, and of course Kingsville has the actual pharmacy building (which is actually quite nice and new), access to faculty, students from other years, and CS will likely have more distant lectures and less contact with faculty and other students. You win some, you lose some I guess.
It was just weird that someone else had asked and they had told them that they were not allowed to release that information/: so that's why I'm a little worried. Unless too many people have asked so they decided to stop telling? Who knowsDon't worry. Once they told you, especially in WORDS, it means they are allowed to do it. I am sure You r not the only one who knows the rank.
Why do you think CS has longer waitlist?Well according to the numbers when I asked where I was on the wait list, the wait list was longer for College station than for kingsville. They told me I was 47 on the kingsville wait list and number 92 overall( kingsville and college station). So I think I just need 47 to decline lol
Just the way Dr. Sawyer stated it in the email, unless I'm reading it wrong. I got kind of confused when I read it a second time He said I was 47 on kingsville wait list and 92 overall(which is kingsville and college station) so idk if you can clear that up for me? I'm assuming the 92 is to get into college station or into any school but it doesn't really make sense if I'm also number 47Why do you think CS has longer waitlist?
So does that mean I have a better shot in kingsville?If I don't forget, A&M invited 300 interviewees. 125 are selected for both CS and K. So 175 are put in the waitlist. And you are 92/175. But because you select Kingsville and you rank 47 here. We don't know how many waitlist in each location .
Also, isn't the 120 split? 87 go to kingsville and 33 to college station?If I don't forget, A&M invited 300 interviewees. 125 are selected for both CS and K. So 175 are put in the waitlist.

I don't know the exact numbers, but that sounds about right to me. The CS group is small as it's the first cohort.Also, isn't the 125 split? 87 go to kingsville and 33 to college station?
At this point I just want to get into one lol waiting just sucksI don't know the exact numbers, but that sounds about right to me. The CS group is small as it's the first cohort.
My main question for the CS group: how will pharmacy orgs work up there? Do we get a new, separate chapter of each one? It would be interesting to have chapters of Phi Delta Chi, Kappa Psi, etc, under the A&M name, 2 SSHP or APhA chapters, yada yada yada.
That's exactly what I'm concerning about. WE are all P1 students in CS, so how pharmacy Orgs will work out there? Therefore, I think it will better for me to go to Kingsville.I don't know the exact numbers, but that sounds about right to me. The CS group is small as it's the first cohort.

003632Anyone know A&Ms financial aid code for FAFSA?
I actually e-mailed Dr. Sawyer yesterday asking for my rank and he said he couldn't give that information to me and he didn't know that he wasn't allowed to do that so he did give the first3 people who asked their ranks but now he knows so he's not going to do that anymore. I was a little late =(
I called yesterday and they told me that offers would be sent out next weekAfter doing some lurking lol, it seems like it is about two weeks so the other students have time to decide and send in all of their stuff. It also looked like the second batch will get calls instead. So maybe sometime next week? This is what someone from last year said:
When I called today, they said a second batch would be going out in two weeks depending on
The # of seats available?
Thanks for calling! That's exciting for everyone else I probably won't hear anything for a while since I'm pretty far down the wait list.I called yesterday and they told me that offers would be sent out next week
Be positive you never know how many declined as of now!Thanks for calling! That's exciting for everyone else I probably won't hear anything for a while since I'm pretty far down the wait list.
I wish they could tell us D: but i hope its alot lolBe positive you never know how many declined as of now!
I don't think so many will give up their spots. 30 is the maximum.I called yesterday and was told they couldn't disclose WL position but then again i didn't talk to Dr. Sawyer i was told next week more offers go out and a 120 offers have been sent so far but i believe at half will be declined people of people wanting to go to UT, TT, or UH
I hope half will deny because that would give me a shot in hearing next week I think 30 max this round of acceptances, but I think there will be more declines throughout the summer.I called yesterday and was told they couldn't disclose WL position but then again i didn't talk to Dr. Sawyer i was told next week more offers go out and a 120 offers have been sent so far but i believe at half will be declined people of people wanting to go to UT, TT, or UH

This question is old, but it is a dilemma for years. TECH vs A&M. I would like to listen to you guy ideas. Which one will be a better option? Pls don't mention the tuition because the difference is small.
If your arguments are supported by evidence, I really feel sorry for A&M in Kingsville. I never think the number of the decliners is as dramatically high. Because I know nothing about A&M, I cannot defend for it. Anyone has any ideas?

Can anyone provide some info of A&M facilities. They did not give us a chance for a real tour.
here is the m
I went to visit the campus last spring break and they have a really nice compounding lab on the second or third floor and they get you started in it right away as a P1 student. There are several areas for students to access for private studying. each student gets their own mailbox that they can choose to have mail sent to down in the main lobby. It may seem like a small building but it is very organized and contains more than a generous amount of things for the students. Additionally, the faculty and staff are so nice and helpful.
You make me want to go to A&M even more You make awesome points and it's very true that you are there to be studying, not out partying or anything. That's why I did not see it as a big deal that it's a small town. If I want to do something while I'm out there I'll just drive to corpus or, if there is time, drive to san antonio to see family Now it's just waiting to hopefully get an acceptance letterOn another note, I chose to attend TX A&M over TX Tech. Both are great schools but I chose A&M because it is closer to my family in San Antonio.
The professors here are more than willing to help you out in anyway possible. There have been several occasions in which I had to miss a test because of family/personal reasons and they were more than accommodating in letting me make up the exams. They want you to succeed but it is your responsibility to reach out to them for help when you need it.
Keep in mind you will be spending a lot of time studying so I wouldn't even worry about living in a "bland" town. Your purpose here is to get the most out of your pharmacy education here and have a positive impact on the community.
