Thanks for the info, I applied early-to mid September. I'm a holistic review applicant because the class ranking at my school is very competitive(I have a 3.85 probably higher now and I only barely squeezed in top 40%, my school doesn't share class rankings to college anyways so it's fine). Not complaining just the reality of my situation. Congrats to your son! I just want to receive a decision lol. I've been seeing "My App Is Complete And In Review" for 86 days now! Patience is a virtue haha.
I know it is hard to be patient. From what I understand, they clear the Top 25% first and then move onto the 2nd quartile. How are your test scores? That can definitely help when you have a competitive class. Blinn TEAM is also a great option but I don't think those go out until spring. We have several friends who are waiting and it has been tough!

Wasn't the old academic admit score 1350? My ds was using that as his goal when applying to TAMU's engineering program. His ended up higher than that and got admitted quickly.From what I read, test scores at A&M -- and I'd guess doubly so for engineering -- are important. If you haven't already, bookmark this page (below). It is very active and has great info on A&M admissions. If your school didn't give a rank to A&M, then A&M assigned one, usually by quartile. You should check in your dashboard what they assigned for you.
To answer your question, my HS senior son was not AA and was admitted about three weeks after he applied. But he did not apply for engineering and was assigned top 25% by them with a strong SAT/ACT that put him in the old "academic admit" category, which does seem to get priority in terms of quick review.

I’m posting this way in advance for the purpose of hopefully reaching high school seniors who will apply to TAMU this summer for Fall 2022. There’s a lot of things you may think you know but TAMU, like other universities, is a beast of it’s own with ins and outs that may or may not make sense...
I don't see where you can check your rank. Which dashboard? In the TAMU AIS or Howdy Portal?From what I read, test scores at A&M -- and I'd guess doubly so for engineering -- are important.

Ok I see it, just to make sure it is the one that says "CLASS RANK (1st Quarter)" correct?
That would be it.
