Problems with ApplyTexas?
Answered

I applied to Texas A&M and had issues with the scholarship page. Did anyone else have this problem? Additionally, I haven't gotten an email with login information from any of the colleges I've applied to, and it's been more than the 1-2 business days listed. When should I contact the schools to ask about the status of them receiving my application?

I haven't gotten that far in my application yet. Just to check, you applied at goapplytexas.org? I know it used to be applytexas.org.

Yes I used goapplytexas.org. I saw somewhere that there were delays with applications until July 22, but that passed, so I assumed the issues were fixed. Now I am panicking lol.

Have you emailed TAMU admissions? Or the admissions people for the other colleges.

[🎤 AUTHOR]@Camk_233 years ago

Yes I called admissions customer service and was told they would not be able to access my application yet.

Did you ever get your problem resolved? If not, this might be something you want to reach out to ApplyTexas customer support about.

What was your issue with the scholarship page? I did find this: https://web-as.tamu.edu/ApplyTexasSpecialInstructions/Scholarships/tamu.html which makes it look like there's special steps you need to take for the scholarship section? The scholarship application isn't considered complete until Texas A&M receives all required supporting documents so maybe that is the issue? I know this isn't super helpful but trying to offer support where I can.

My exact issue was that there was a form that would not save. I filled it out. When I was done with the whole application, I noticed that all spaces were blank, so I filled it out again. I hit save each time. Then, I checked again, and I had to type in information again. I first thought it was a privacy thing because I had to enter parental income, etc, but after reading on Facebook that other people had this issue, I do not think that is the case.

I found an email address for ApplyTexas but no phone number. I emailed last Friday and have not heard back yet. Would it be a good idea to send a follow-up email?

Yes, I think it's fine to email again. Especially if you emailed early on Friday. I'm surprised they haven't gotten back to you. When you called TAMU admissions did they mention when they'd be able to access your application?

[🎤 AUTHOR]@Camk_233 years ago

They did not, but as of yesterday I saw a new message on applytexas that they were having delays in sending applications. I also saw University of Texas put on their admissions website that their portal login information wouldn't be sent out until August 16, so I think it's all an issue with ApplyTexas processing.
