Are you by any chance a Red Raider? Just wondering- since you have Raider in your user name.

Aaaahhhh! I don't know how much longer I can wait for a decision before I go absolutely bonkers! Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. I'm getting so jealous of all the pre-meds and applicants who applied to other schools. If one more person asks me what I'm doing after graduation, I might have a complete mental breakdown.
Same here! Hang in there....February is almost over, so not too much longer!
I hope so. The suspense is literally killing me! At this point I want any answer, even if it is not the one I want....
same here! im going crazy! hopefully we will all hear soon, hopefully all good news 🙂
Yolanda called me 2 weeks ago with a question regarding one of my transcripts. Since I had her on the phone, I asked her when they thought decisions would be sent out. She told me they were still planning on mid-March 🙁
Who's ready to break in "Animal House"-style, and find the acceptance list?
I think in honor of Texas Independence from Mexico Day we should all be put out of our terror and misery and be told whether or not we were admitted 😳
You know, the funny thing is that in the fishbowl there's a box on the wall that says "building plans" or some such. It's been left open in the past, and probably wouldn't be too terribly hard to get a hold of.I'm planning the raid on the admission office. Just trying to find someone who can sell me the building's blueprints.![]()

Just sayin'. I'll try and remember to get a picture of it tomorrow.
Excellent. The wheels are in motion. (It sounds a lot cooler if you imagine a Darth Vader voice)
I think someone said last year that acceptances were in big manila envelopes (I'm picturing full paper-sized?). I assume that rejections are standard envelope-sized and thin. Maybe a current student can confirm?
Just thought I'd give yall a heads up. Our classes met with the administration yesterday and tuition will likely be going up starting in Fall of 2012 until it reaches $18,000/yr for IS students. 🙁 I also asked if they were going to increase class size for this year's applicant pool and they said no. The administration also said that they have not yet decided on the members of class of 2015 yet and will be working on it for the next few weeks. With the differential tuition issue popping up this week, I bet decisions will be delayed a little bit. I would probably plan on mid march right after or during spring break.
I've heard they normally accept 10 OOS and put a handful more on the waitlist, so I think only 6 must have accepted.At least IS for TAMU isn't like UC-Davis. I was talking to some girls who applied there when I was up at WSU and they said they're tuition was up to 32K. But I could be lying, that was just the word on the street lol. I haven't looked it up to verify.
So I was looking at the OOS acceptance stats for TAMU and in '09 only 6 OOS kids went? Does anybody know if that's all they accepted or all that accepted their invites?
I've heard they normally accept 10 OOS and put a handful more on the waitlist, so I think only 6 must have accepted.
In the past, I think they've notified OOS applicants several weeks before now. They must be really behind if OOS hasn't heard anything yet. 🙁
Aw, don't panic 🙁 I haven't decided what I'm going to do next year either. I live with my bf in Houston, so if I don't get in, I'll be staying here. One of my profs offered me a job working in her lab, but at this point, that would only be for the summer unless she can get more grant money secured. I'm a planner, so it's driving me nuts that I don't know what I'll be doing after I graduate in 2 months. I'm looking into 1 year Master's programs, and I'm also keeping my eye out for animal-related jobs/paid internships. I'm not going to waste time, money, and effort filling out applications until I know what A&M's decision is. It'll be okay though! Only 1 more week in limbo, right?kind of depressing topic...but what is everyone's plan if you don't get in this cycle? I have decided to stay in college station no matter what and improve my application here before next cycle. I was just curious to see everyones plan B. I am now dealing with the living crisis since all my roommates are graduating, is anybody else dealing with this type of stress? It is just building more and more the longer it takes them to make decisions, it feels like my life is on hold. Sorry for the minor panic attack, I just thought it would help if I knew what other people were doing/thinking right now.

I'd take that job, dependent on what it'd be doing. I worked in a clinical pathology job for a summer and learned quite a bit and I think it looked good on my application too, because not a lot of people have that experience, so it was something to set me apart. I don't know if you applied OOS as well, nor intend to, but it was brought up at three different schools. At Ohio one of my interviewers was a clinical pathologist lol. Wouldn't be that much of an issue with A&M though since they changed formats.One of my profs offered me a job working in her lab, but at this point, that would only be for the summer unless she can get more grant money secured.

I'm kinda in the same boat. Have you found any good 1 year Masters Programs there in Houston?
The UT Health Science Center here has an MPH that can be done in a year, although most do it in 18 months. The deadline for fall 2011 was March 1. I do actually want to go into the public health side of vet medicine anyway, so I might start working towards that. Texas A&M has a program in veterinary public health that I've checked out too. We'll see. I'm having trouble working up enthusiasm for going through another application process right now!
