If your student is dreaming of maroon, practicing their two-step, and using "gig em" in their daily vocabulary, you know they're applying to Texas A&M. And just like with any other application, it's important that they personalize their A&M application to show the school that they don't just want to go to college—they want to be an Aggie. To get started, here are five tips on applying to Texas A&M: 1. Apply early to get your first-choice major. The application opens on August 1—for the first time using the Common Application —and we recommend applying soon after if the student's essay is complete.

Complete the required supplements, and potentially the supplement for the College of Engineering. All students applying to A&M are requited to complete 3 short answer prompts- check out our tips . If your student is applying to the College of Engineering , they need to complete the engineering supplement. This is a wonderful opportunity for your student to highlight why they would be a great engineering student.
