What do you plan to study?
NHS, for most colleges, isn’t worth that much.
Also your class rank is more important than GPA. If you can get the SAT up, you could get academic admit.
Unless he/she is going for engineering, what they plan to study is unimportant due to first come, first serve.
TAMU uses class rank not GPA, top 25% is required for academic admit. The automatic admit threshold for the SAT is 1360… you’re co close, sign up & retest.
I really want to major in either biology, chemistry, or biochemistry.
What is your class rank? This is very important to A&M admissions. Are you in Texas?
biology chemistry & biochemistry are all direct admits on rolling basis. Historically they do not fill as quickly with auto applicants so a review candidate has a good chance of getting their major if they are admitted to the university.
Currently, I’m top 11% in my school (53/480), and yes I’m a Texas resident.
You can apply as a review admit now, then retake SAT/ACT and submit scores to become an academic admit. You would get admitted faster with academic admit than waiting for review, academic admits only count rank/score & a completed application. If you don’t retake, you will have to wait to see if you will be admitted as holistic review (everything counts & your rank/score is only 50% of the decision) Your chances are good as a review, but not guaranteed vs. 100% if you score an additional 10 points on the SAT or a 30 on the ACT.
