<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I am currently a high school junior looking to apply to TAMU Engineering or UTD Engineering, specifically Aerospace or Mechanical in the fall (disregard Aerospace for UTD, they don't have it). The thing I am worried about is my rank because I go to one of the most competitive high schools in the entire nation (rank 47) and we have IB, which means GPA's are rounded to the nearest thousandth of a point! Anyways, I will list my "stats" and please chance me, or let me know what I can do to raise my chances?</p>
