<p>You should consider taking the ACT again as well - if you can get to a 30 you would be an automatic admit (top 25%). </p>

<p>You may be offered BlinnTeam to start - hang in there, I know waiting is tough.</p>

3

<p>Try and get at least 2 more points on your ACT and at least 50 more points on your SAT.</p>

<p>Legacy supposedly isn’t really considered anymore but who knows.</p>

<p>I’d say right now it’s pretty close either way.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. I just took the ACT again and got a 25 (again) though my english went up 2 points and reading went up, I kept a 25. Im taking the SAT again in October and hopefully will get that CR score higher and try to bump math up a few also. </p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>I think you will be accepted. If you have shown great interest as you state. I actually think Legacy does help- though it isnt suppose to…
keep us posted. You may get General Studies, but I kinda think they will snatch someone like you up- you have good ec’s and volunteer hours, competitive high school - and great interest in A&M.</p>

<p>Ok, to update everyone who cares, I have still heard nothing from A&M… everyone, including teachers and counselors, says I will most likely get in but I’m still nervous. Anyhow, I was accepted into Michigan State already, which is about the same standing as A&M academically, and I was wondering if this is a good, bad, or neutral sign for A&M. </p>

<p>All I can say is, hopefully my good grades, awesome ECs, recognized interest, and solid service hours make up for the average SAT score.
Any input? :D</p>

<p>I think me and you are in the same boat, I got a 1230(M+CR) but im in the top 50%.</p>

<p>Just letting everyone know, I WAS accepted and am planning to attend. Thanks for everyones comments!</p>

<p>WHOOP!</p>
