the list is ranked. if you call admissions to review your file (i.e. your strength, weakness) they will tell you where you fall, approximate percentage-wise.

has anyone had any luck doing this? i called the TAMU admissions office earlier this week and they said that they haven't ranked the waitlist people yet, and that since they didnt release waitlist ranks last year, that they would not be doing it this year either. anyone have luck?

I would wait to file the fafsa b/c they have a emergency fund if you get in at the last min. I was waitlisted on the previous term.
Maldonado said that the interview weighed pretty heavily on your ranking. Good luck.

Are you at A&M now? And why wait on filing a FAFSA?

DrMed, Someone earlier said they had called. I called as well. They will look at the 115 again in March, reevaluate everyone. They will not let you know where you are on the list.

You can do the fafsa if you want. but if you don't get in, it'll be a waste of time.

No I'm not at a/m. I'm a reapplicant.

Anyone know anything? The admissions office tell me no one was accepted off the wait list last year, but then Md2banthony says he was accepted off the list last year. There have been a couple of people on SDN that say they have withdrawn from TAMU this year, yet the admissions office says they will not be taking anyone off their alternate list.

Can someone shead some light on this for me? 😕

I just called TAMU. The situation is this-- they over accept by 10 people each year, so 11 people have to withdraw in order for the first person to get accepted off of the alternate list. They said they've already extended one offer off of the alt list this year, but they don't plan on making anymore...BOO!

Thanks! I wish they would just be up front about the whole thing the first time I asked back in Feburary! Well I didn't get the call so it's not me! Thanks Ford!
