SRAR at Texas A&M

Hey all, I've heard about the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) required at Texas A&M and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Can anyone explain it to me or share their experience with it? Do you have any tips about submitting it correctly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Absolutely, I can help clarify the SRAR for Texas A&M. The Self-Reported Academic Record is essentially a summary that you as the student create of the courses and corresponding grades you’ve received in high school. The crucial bit to remember is that the SRAR needs to mirror your high school transcript exactly, so don't forget to input all classes, not just the core ones.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

1. Collect Your Transcripts: Before you start, gather your official transcript(s) for all years of high school to ensure accuracy.

2. Create Your SRAR Account: Texas A&M uses a platform called SRAR.com. You'll need to go there to create your account. Make sure the personal information used matches with your application.

3. Fill in Your Academic History: Using your transcript, fill in your academic history including course names, level of difficulty (like AP, IB, etc.), and final grades for each marking period. Include grades9-11, and your senior year schedule. It's advisable to not use abbreviations or acronyms – spell everything out to avoid confusion.

4. Proofread: Carefully compare your SRAR to your transcripts. Any discrepancies could possibly delay the admissions process or even affect your admission decision, so take your time in checking over your work.

5. Submit Your SRAR: Once you’ve checked everything for accuracy, submit your SRAR to Texas A&M through the SRAR platform.

6. Final Transcript: After you graduate high school, don’t forget to send your final transcript to Texas A&M. They will review this to ensure it matches your SRAR.

In the end, just remember to be careful and not rush the process. While it may seem tedious, it’s a necessary part of the application process. You got this!
