Howdy Partner, Hold Your Horses! Can You Still Saddle Up for Texas State?
Ah, Texas State University. Home of the Bobcats (not actual wildcats, but pretty darn fierce academically speaking), and maybe the best breakfast tacos this side of the Pecos (unofficial motto, but fight me on it). You're itching to be a Bobcat, that much is clear. But here's the thing: deadlines are a real thing, y'all, and sometimes they sneak up on you faster than a tumbleweed in a dust storm. ️
So, the big question is: Did you miss the deadline to apply to Texas State? Well, put down that ten-gallon hat of worry, because there might still be hope! Let's mosey on over and see...
Hold on to Your Stetson: Deadlines Do Exist, But All Hope Ain't Lost
Texas State, bless their hearts, has deadlines just like any other university. Fall semester applications are typically due by July 15th, and missing that date might mean your application gets relegated to the "maybe" pile. But fear not, there's a silver lining: space-available applications.
Here's the catch: These are kinda like waiting for that last slice of pecan pie at Thanksgiving dinner. There's a chance you'll snag it, but there's also a chance your grandma will eat it first (or in this case, all the spots in your program might be filled).
So, what should you do, buckaroo?
Grab Your Lasso and Wrangle Up Some Information
-
Head on over to the Texas State Admissions website. They have more information about deadlines than you can shake a stick at (metaphorically speaking, please don't bring sticks to the admissions office). Look for the "Application Deadlines" section and see what the sitch is for your program.
-
Give those friendly folks at admissions a ring. Seriously, a phone call can work wonders. They might be able to tell you if there's still room at the inn (or dorm, as the case may be) for your program, even if the deadline has whooshed by.
-
Consider applying for the next semester. Didn't make it for Fall? Spring might be your new best friend! Just remember to check those deadlines again so you're not two-stepping into another missed opportunity.
Howdy Partner, Here's the Bottom Line:
Don't let a missed deadline buck you off your dream of becoming a Texas State Bobcat. There are still options! Do your research, reach out to admissions, and remember: persistence is key (and maybe a little bit of southern charm wouldn't hurt either). Good luck, and hope to see you on campus soon!
