4.15 GPA / 10% Class Rank Waitlisted by A&M and UTA

As the title says, I got into Blinn and the CAP program for both. I’ve taken a total of 7 APs, including BC Calc… I’m not sure what I did wrong… I applied for Electrical Engineering… could that be it? If so, is there anyway I can change that?

SAT or ACT score?

Was your rank just beyond the top 10% (i.e. something like 10.1%) or just within the top 10% (i.e. something like 9.9%)?

Texas A&M claims to be automatic admission if you are within the top 10% of a Texas high school, and if you are within the top 25% with sufficiently high SAT or ACT scores. Of course, this presumes completion of the specified course work.

Did you apply in time and are in-state?

Are you in state? If you are I thought Texas had a system where if you were in the top 10% of your class you had an auto admission into their public schools… As far as what you can do I would simply accept the waitlist, I’m not sure if there’s anything else you really can do.
