Hello, guys! While looking at the application process of Texas A&M University, I encountered something called SRAR. Can someone explain what it is? Does everyone need to submit it? How does it affect my application process?
SRAR stands for Self-Reported Academic Record. It's a part of the application process where you, the applicant, report your high school grades instead of sending an official high school transcript. The SRAR includes all high school courses and grades from 9th through 11th grade, and any courses you plan to take in 12th grade. At Texas A&M University (TAMU), the SRAR is required for all domestic freshmen applicants. It has a significant impact on your application process because it replaces your official high school transcript during the review process. This allows TAMU to evaluate your academic performance earlier and more comprehensively.
However, it's crucial to be accurate when entering your courses and grades in the SRAR. If you're admitted and choose to enroll at TAMU, you'll then be required to submit your official final transcript. TAMU will compare this with your SRAR, and any discrepancies could lead to rescinded admission. So, while it might take some time to complete the SRAR, it's a critical step in your application process that needs thorough attention.
