Bit of an organization stress, but trying to get everything arranged for my application. If I'm applying to Texas A&M, do I need to fill out the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR)?
Yes, indeed. Texas A&M University does utilize the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) as part of its admissions process. Hence, you're expected to enter all your high school courses and grades into the SRAR as accurately as possible. In comparison to other universities, Texas A&M will not require an official transcript unless you are admitted and decide to attend.
Here's a step-by-step guide to aid you:
1. Start off by listing all your official high school courses and grades from 9th grade till now. Be as accurate as you can.
2. Sign up for a SRAR account if you don't already have one.
3. Then enter your courses and grades as they appear on your transcript. Keeping your transcript near you will be useful for this.
4. Just as a reminder, include every single class, even if they are not in typical core academic areas.
5. Once done, you'll link the SRAR to your Texas A&M application through the AIS (Applicant Information System).
Remember, as simple as it sounds, it takes time to do accurately, and it's crucial for your application, so I'd recommend not leaving it till the last minute. Make sure to double-check all information for accuracy before submission. Good luck!
