When I heard about TAMS I was truly captivated by the projects. Hi I am going into sophomore year I really really want to go to TAMS. If it’s a school for math and science, they’re probably pretty familiar with MIT’s and other institutes’ policies.Įven if someone on this board can answer your specific question with confidence, it’s still better to get the answer directly “from the horse’s mouth.” Alternatively, if you are uncomfortable calling a college you are still pretty far from applying to, call the college counseling office at TAMS. Since you have your eyes on MIT in particular, call them, explain ONLY the bit about TAMS and see what they say.
Another school said that it didn’t matter how old she was when the classes were taken or what university they were from, she would have to apply as a transfer student. She wouldn’t get the credit transferred (which she doesn’t care about) but would be able to apply as a freshman. Because of her age, it wouldn’t effect her application status and they see it all the time.
Īre the college credits from TAMS via UNT? If that is the case, have you even checked to see if MIT will even accept transfer from there? I have spoken with one elite college about my child’s case and was told to go ahead and let her take as many college courses as she wanted. She has no idea where she wants to go to college at this point, but wants to have as many options as possible when the time comes. I have an accelerated child who is being very careful about the number of college courses she completes for the very reason that you are concerned about. It can be an issue for students who rack up more than 12 actual transcripted credits before college. You don’t have to worry about AP “credits” because they’re only hypothetical and most top schools don’t actually grant credit for the exams, just placement. Like Dodgersmom said, contact the school and ask them because it WILL vary by school. If I am accepted into TAMS, and get all the college credits I take there, can I still apply to colleges as a freshman (normal admissions process), and the credits (except for the AP ones I took in 9th and 10th and some of the ones I want, like English and French) don't get transferred? Because I really want to go into MIT as a freshman student, not a transfer junior over there. Prolly good recommendations/essays/interview Will participate in AMC 12 in 10th Grade. Will start a Mu Alpha Theta (math honors society) in 10th Grade with my Calculus teacher as my sponsor.

Only about 200 sophomores (only from Texas) are accepted into it for their junior year each year. The Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science (at the University of North Texas) is a highly selective program for juniors and seniors living in Texas.
