Could use some good Aggie vibes

[TexasLongball]

My son submitted his application to A&M at midnight last night. He could use some positive Aggie energy sent his way.

[Dusty Britches]

Whoop!! Way to go!

[Barney1971]

Class of '95 here, daughter is class of '20. some of my best memories were on that campus and northgate-- loved it. he will make lifelong friends and get a great education.

[James]

Gig Em

[Ætheling]

Is he from Texas or America? If so Im pretty sure they don’t accept applications from those two groups anymore

Kidding! Good luck to him.

Only college I applied for, was the greatest choice I ever made. Two years out and still stings a little knowing my time as a student there is over, best of luck to him! Gig 'Em!

[El Viejo]

Whoop! Another wise young person in our midst! I wish him well. Tell him to join the Corps. Fifty-one years later, my buddies and I still get together every year and I talk with at least one of them more than once a week. Friends for life for sure, as Barney1971 said.

[TexasLongball]

Thanks everyone. I think he has a strong application between grades, test scores, extra curriculars, and service work. But I'm hearing it's more difficult each year for a kid to go right in from HS instead of Blinn.

[StickFlinger]

Goodluck to him, '19 and the only college I applied for. 1st gen aggie and wouldn't trade the experience for the world. He'll love it, gig'em

[TeamAmerica]

Gig em and wish him luck!

[Howdy]

Whoop. Masters '18.

Best of luck to him from a 1st gen college grad and Aggie.

[Russ79]

On September 3rd, one of my best friends from our days at A&M and I will start our 43rd year of going to football games together. The older I get the more special A&M is to me. The campus may change, some traditions may fade, but Aggie friends are forever.

[lck90]

Good Luck to him! Class of '13 here.

[jdg13]

Good luck from a "2-percenter" One of the few from the class of 13 who got a good edumacation without drinking the koolaid

[Bazo]

Good luck! My daughter is submitting her transfer application today from Southwestern University. We're in the same boat with our fingers crossed!

[CyTxCazador]

Sending ‘05 vibes… aye aye aye Whoop!

[Big pig]

Hope he is in the top “X” percent
But Blinn route has worked for some of our friend’s kids. .

Might ask him to consider Arkansas. Great college environment
Sure worked out well for us and some of our other friends.

[Hunting4fun]

My son goes there and he said it's one of the best decisions he's ever made. It took him a whopping 2 days to feel right at home.

[Krivoman]

both my boys and all my money is going there right now. Good luck to yours. Pulling for him.

[Duane]

Good luck to your son! Andrew '20 was automatically accepted, Jake '24 took the Blinn Team route, and I transferred in from Tarleton way back when. It doesn't matter how you get there, just get there.

[Jon B]

He will be listening to ol' rock's stories soon. Just saying.....ol' rock sounds like he might shoot a crossbow.

[Hot4huntin]

Gig’em!!! Good luck!!! Our daughter, Hunter, is a 2021 graduate!!!

[McClain]

Class of ‘76 vibes sent his way! Great choice.

[Mr. Public]

Good luck young man. May he be accepted and join into the traditions and succeed in his education while making life long companions and fellow colleagues on his way.

PS I’d say you’re a good Dad too

Had to stop and do the math on that one. I'm not an aggie but it worked out so you're good to go. Read slower is my motto.

[Snapperhead94]

Good luck from '94! Moving my 2026 to BCS on Aug.20.

[TexasLongball]

This waiting game is KILLING us!! He isn't auto-accepted but has a STRONG application. I honestly thought he'd hear back before now. Hopefully when the office reopens after the break that they will send him something.

[Monark]

Don't have quite the vib repertoire of HappyM but good Aggie vibs coming to you from us.

Me '82, wife '96, son 2020, daughter 2022. Plus two of my sisters & my wife's sister. Fingers crossed for your son.

[Aggie]

Best of Luck!!! Some of the best times of my life were at Aggieland.

[Chase This!]

Gig ‘em. Good luck!

Ol' Rock may shoot a crossbow or a compound, depends on if Rockelle is sleeping on her right side or her left side when he wakes up.

[TexasAggie04]

Gig em and good luck!

[GARY]

Good luck to your son!

My last of 3 (and only Aggie) graduated the 16th. Hoping to having him off the tit by end of Q123!

[TexasJim]

He will get in! My daughter loves it.

[Mudslinger]

Best 4 years of school ever! Actually shocked I made it out in 4 years with a degree! Class of 75!

[Jamvo]

Class of ‘08 here. It took a long time for me to get my acceptance letter. The other schools I applied to showed up quick. A&M letter showed up in the spring I believe.

Fingers crossed for you. That place will change his life for the better in every way.

[Geraldg6]

Class of 2011. I had to go the blinn route because I had too much fun in high school. Sticking it out and working hard to get into A&M is the best decision I ever made. Made a lot friends there that I talk to daily. Met my wife there. Made many memories that we still talk about. There is a ton of pressure when it comes to your academics. The best advice I received when I was there is this.

“You can sleep when your dead”

Gig ‘Em and tell him to have fun. It goes by quick.

Congrats on making it this far! Whether he gets in right away or take a few years to make it there (like me) he's bound for a great time!

Best of Luck!

Gig'Em from Class of '13

[Buckwheat]

WHOOP!!!

Good luck, from an SHSU grad and TTU master's, I had friends that went to ATM, great school and great traditions, both of my kids are at Tech, love the in state rivalry, hope he gets in and has the time of his life.

[LukeDuke]

Great choice - good luck!

[aggie2000tx]

Good luck. We have a few degrees from there in the family.

[dropTopTx]

Good vibes to him. Wife and I are '91, our daughter is '20. Life in Aggieland was a hell of a time.

[gigemecw13]

Best of luck. Class of ‘13 here. Gig ‘em!

[DaveC]

Good luck to em!
My son is in his second year there now.
He lives behind Northgate and seems to be having a good time.

Last year- Spending too much time with the nefarious blonde split tail drug his GPA right out of Mays business school, luckily that saga ended before his time at CS was cut short.

There were a couple of talks had about fun now vs fun later.
He might have heard some of it - lol.

Reminds me of a Limp Bizkit song....

[TexasLongball]

Appreciate it, everyone! The kid has a 4.02 GPA, 1310 SAT, National Honor Society, CAT (service organization), PALS (mentor program), tons of volunteer work that he didn't even count, and played football and ran track. I really thought he would be a shoo-in. He didn't even apply anywhere else. He said that if he has to go the Blinn route, then so be it, but he WILL graduate from A&M.

[TexasLongball]

Oh, and like 7 endorsements! Plus two really strong letters of recommendation. Kid busted his tail in high school. I would really like to see his hard work pay off.
