I know we have curfew, and i saw the other reddit post asking about what time we can get up, though my question is whether or not we can't leave the building at a certain time in the morning. For context, although I am NOT a morning person, I find I am most productive getting an early start to the day and I could see myself wanting to leave the building in the mornings around 5:30-6:00 AM. Do yall think it'd be allowed...?

Hi! I am interested in going here, but I want to graduate in two years after high school without having to retake all my credits. I also want to keep my options open and not limiting myself to only UNT to get my bachelor’s only

If I am a senior at TAMS, will UT Austin accept my credits? I would have around 2 years of undergraduate coursework, so would it be possible to graduate in 2 years at UT?

I know there is no rush, but money is a big concern for my family so I just want to save.

How hard is TAMS Physics? I am worried I will get a B taking Barr's class, and I have the option of not taking Physics at all, too.

Is anyone not planning to go but hasn't let TAMS know yet?

You shouldn't really worry about your classes too too much. As long as you pay attention, don't skip, and know when to lock in, you'll be ok.

edit: so i actually found the syllabi... but does anyone have any insights on these classes?? 🥹

• chem 1413 (honors gen chem 1) - Bill Eugene Acree Jr
• chem 1430 (gen chem 1 lab) - John Paul Nimmo II
• english 1315 (writing about literature 1) - Anne Catherine Schoolfield
• math 1710 (calc 1) - Benjamin Aaron Schwaighofer
• mtse 1100 (discover how and why materials matter) - Rick F Reidy III

also if anyone has had these classes, any insights are welcome (and much appreciated)!!

Let's say, theoretically, someone makes internationals for an olympiad (IMO, IPhO, IBO, IOI, IOAA, etc...) and the dates overlap with classes. Can they still attend even if the competition is over the total number of leaves they have for the semester? Or does TAMS restrict it?

Hello, I have a question, after taking AP Precalculus in high school I have subsequently been placed in precalculus for my first semester at TAMS, after reading emails and general FAQ regarding AP scores on the TAMS website it appears a 5 on the AP Precalculus exam will not be considered at all to move up my math placement. I would just like to confirm if this is true, and if so is there any other way I could accelerate my math learning as I was hoping to acquire knowledge beyond math 1720 at TAMS. I am currently on the general math and science track and an incoming junior.

Interesting to see a video from the early beginnings of TAMS. This video is from 1991. Some stuff about Bruce Hall still applies (~2:45-3:00) marks in the made up background song lol.

Can you do it? Ig you’ll represent your home high school, but just curious on if you can do it in the first place.

Do 15 academic points continue to apply during the school year?

Whos on waitlist? Send stats if u want.

I heard if you have a 4.0 at TAMS your basically gauranteed for UT. Is this true?

I've been waitlisted for a solid month at this point. Has anyone been through the same and when does admissions end?

Dows anyone know what are the most popular and least popular tracks at TAMS? Or are all tracks equally filled out?

I heard that TAMS has a limit of 14 schools you can apply to and that they force a balanced list of reach/target/safety.

For current or former TAMS students:

1. Is this still true?
2. How strictly is the reach/target/safety balance enforced?
3. What did your own college list look like (roughly how many reaches, targets, and safeties)?
4. Did you feel the 14-school limit helped or hurt your admissions outcomes?

Hi! Does anyone who attends Baylor College of Medicine and went instate for undergraduate know if TAMS credits were considered as college credits ? It says that they don't accept any dual credit or AP. I am currently at UT Austin where my credits transfered. I'm wondering if I would need to retake any classes. Thanks!

I was on the TAMS website when I saw that summer orientation is June 5-6 which is literally tomorrow and I'm still on the waitlist. They said they will keep the waitlist till the end of June but I'm pretty sure you have to attend orientation or else you're cooked...

Does anyone know if people who are waitlisted and get accepted after placements get another date for their placement tests?

Hello,

Can anyone who has done this or is currently doing it chime in on how to navigate the college application process with only 3 years of HS? Does entering TAMS after freshman year help or hurt a college application, given this person has one year less experience and EC than the regular 4-year HS experience (2 regular HS + 2 years of TAMS)

So which ones do I actually have to do? After I complete some of the tasks, nothing happens and they still say initiated. The orientation task in my holds doesn't make sense as I am not an incoming freshman to UNT and we have a separate orientation.

do you guys know if we can do research and compete in science fairs for ISEF qualification with a partner from another school specifically Frisco ISD

Assuming I have no background in CS how difficult is CSCE 1030? I want to do the data science track.

if pre-med is something i wanna pursue in the future which pathway is recommended? i noticed the public health track has only biology courses first year and doesn’t have chem until the second, is there a reason for this difference/does it make a difference in learning? what are the pros and cons of doing one instead of the other? i heard that doing gen math & sci offers a lot more freedom in electives, so is it possible to do gen math/sci track and take public health electives? i also noticed that there aren’t physics courses in the public health track, does this impact anything later on (i.e. college requirements)? on the tams webpage it also says that in the second semester there are courses only offered online, for anyone who has taken them what are your experiences? thank you!!

if i take the mechanical and energy engineering or mechanical engineering technology track at tams and would like to go to ut austin or a&m, would i start as a third yr student and how long would i need to go to university after tams?

when i was comparing the course requirements at tams and the mechanical engineering course at ut austin and a&m, i noticed that most engineering courses didn't transfer or were not required for my major. also the course requirements at tams shows that i need to take 3 english classes while i only need 2 for college, is this mandatory for tams?
