Texas schools (UT or A&M), don’t look at GPA. They only look at class rank.

You would be placed as a review admit for Texas A&M because even though you are top 10%, you are OOS (California). If you were top quarter and had a SAT above 1360 (with a few other minimums), you could qualify for academic admit (which is basically the same as autoadmit).

If you are able to get your SAT high enough, you would be basically guaranteed to go to Mays, due to the way that majors fill up (first come first serve). However, as a review admit (low SAT), I would say your chances range from average to low.

Thank you! I wasn’t aware they didn’t use GPA. I’ll get working on that SAT @RMNiMiTz
