<p>Hi,
I'm applying to Texas A&M, and I was wandering what are my chances? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>GPA: approx. 3.85</p>

<p>SAT I (1st): M: 620 V: 670 C: 510
SAT I (2nd): M: 620 V: 730 C: 590
SAT I (3rd): M: 650 V: 700 C: 600
SAT II: Math Level I, French, US History : TBD in October</p>

<p>Rank: Haven't received the latest rank, but last year I was in the top 22, and I could have only moved up since I improved my GPA: So around 20-22%. </p>

<p>AP Classes:
US History (5), French (5), Biology (?), Environmental Science (?), Human Geography (?), Calculus AB (?), Psychology (?), Government/Economics (?)</p>

<p>Class Rigor: I took 1 Honors course Freshmen year since I was misinformed and made some wrong choices. I took 1 pre-AP course and 1 AP course for which I did not even take the AP during my sophomore year. (Again, poor choice) My junior year, I took 2 APs and 1 pre-AP. And this year I'm taking 5 APs, 1 regular and 1 off-period. Total: 31 credits.</p>

<p>Extracurricular:</p>

<ul>
<li>Sport: Varsity Ice Hockey (4 years - Assistant Captain/? this year)</li>
<li>Clubs: Interact Club (4 years) Earth Club (2 years) NHS (2 years) French Club (3 years - Treasurer/Vice President)</li>
<li>Volunteering: 100+ hours through school clubs and YES program. Additionally, this past summer I volunteered at the Memorial Hermann in downtown Houston and received 50 hours.</li>
</ul>

<p>Work:</p>

<ul>
<li>Local Ice Rink (started this past July) I work around 20 hrs/week.</li>
</ul>

<p>Awards:</p>

<ul>
<li>NHS</li>
<li>Academic Excellence </li>
<li>Texas French Symposium (Placed 1st place in State competition)</li>
<li>Fastest Skater Award (1st place)</li>
</ul>

<p>Thanks for reading this, I just wanted you to approximate my chances and give me some tips/hints for the app process. Thanks a lot. BTW: I'm also applying to UT and Cornell.</p>

<p>you are so close to automatic admissions with your first SAT and 1290 and being in top 25% of your class. You have great EC’s and have community service
tips:
Make sure you do an official A&M campus tour. Make an appointment and tour the college of your 1st choice Major - and maybe even your 2nd choice major. This is minimal to show A&M you are truely interested in A&M. If one is near by - make and appointment and visit a regional prospective student center - this gives you and admissions person you can call and ask questions as the admissions process goes along. They can also help you with scholarships. [Prospective</a> Student Centers](<a href=“http://admissions.tamu.edu/psc/]Prospective”>http://admissions.tamu.edu/psc/)
spend time on your essays - do the optional one!
And submit your application as soon as possible.</p>

<p>AirForcePilot you are at automatic admission with your SAT. Just stay in top 25%. Apply now because your rank could go down if there are dropouts in your high school.</p>

<p>How come? I thought it was 1300 combined?</p>

9

<p>Ok. I am did not look at scores correctly. I’m used to verbal being listed last and it is math and critical reading combined for 1300. My mistake, you are very close still.</p>

<p>Ah ok, thanks a lot!</p>
