Admissions Decision Appeals Process

dots
Every applicant who was not admitted to Texas A&M University at Qatar has had their application file considered through an extensive holistic review that considers all admission required documents that were submitted. The review process is very thorough — therefore, it is unusual for an admission decision to be reversed. For an appeal to have merit, it must bring to light new and compelling academic and/or personal information as well as details pertaining to extenuating circumstances that were not addressed in the original application. The appeals process is not a re-review of an existing applicant file and appeals will not be considered from applicants who are not submitting new information or documentation.

Guidelines for Submitting an Appeal
  • You are required to speak with an Admission Team Member to have your appeal option approved for re-review.
  • You must submit the appeal yourself. Appeals from parents/guardians or high school officials will not be accepted.
  • Your appeal must be submitted via email to [email protected]
  • Your appeal must present new and compelling information not included in your original application.
  • Your appeal should include an explanation of why the new information was not submitted in your original application.
  • Your appeal should include supporting documentation.
  • You will be notified of your appeal decision via email.
  • You may only appeal once and the decision is final.

Basis for an Appeal
  • Grade change — an inaccurate grade was reported or change of grade after the TAMUQ application deadline.
  • Medical condition — you failed to report a medical condition, illness or surgery which negatively impacted your academics and/or personal achievements.
  • Extenuating life circumstance — you failed to report a life-changing circumstance (such as the death of a parent) that negatively impacted your academics and/or personal achievements.

Supporting Documentation
  • High school transcript showing grade change.
  • Documented letter from high school counselor referencing grade change.
  • Documented evidence from health care provider referencing medical condition, illness or surgery which shows the compelling reason why your academics and/or personal achievements were affected.
