<p>you should get your application in asap. You are a review admit, admissions opened on August 1st you are already behind. I would apply now and then have your high school send your mid year transcript. Hopefully it will arrive before the end of the application time and your class rank will have changed upward. You have good SAT scores, good ec’s, volunteer hours, etc.
Have you shown any interest in A&M by official campus visits, touring the college of your choice? Have you been to a remote admissions center - they can be of great help to review admits. Have you done any of the events made for High School Jr/Sr’s? Showing interest is important to A&M, especially to a review admit like you.</p>
<p>@catcher: my son also in very competitive prep high school. He was 26/103 and has been offered admission. TAMU has admitted kids from my son’s high school who were #50/100 and they have done well, so TAMU is familiar with our high school rigor. </p>
<p>You are so close to meeting the academic auto admissions cut off between your scores and your rank. So what is left to do? Show interest in the school. </p>
<p>Get your application in ASAP. Visit TAMU, if at all possible. If there is an optional essay, talk about YOUR passion for the school and what TAMU means to YOU.</p>
<p>Best wishes!! (Get going on that application)</p>
Hi, did you have something special like athletics. One of my friends who is averagely intelligent got into Rice University because he ran his own business since 9th grade (Computer Science group that created programs for local small businesses.)
