Application Rounds

2023 Cohort Admission Deadlines listed below

Residency Week for the cohort incoming Fall 2023 is planned for August 13-17, 2023 in College Station, Texas.

Please Note: Each “round” represents a distinct period in which you may apply, not a succession of steps in your application. You may apply in one round only, one time in an application year. You must have your application submitted in its entirety by the deadline to be considered for a round.

Scholarship & Financial Aid Opportunities

Applicants that complete and submit their application in the Priority Admission rounds, ending on August 1, will be eligible for a $1000 scholarship! Applicants are encouraged to apply early in the academic calendar, as space becomes limited by the final deadline. In addition, applying in the earlier rounds will give candidates more time to qualify for and address such matters as scholarships, financial aid, grants, loans, etc.

For more financial aid information and opportunities, please visit the Texas A&M University financial aid website.
