<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I want to apply to PURDUE and TAMU. Can someone tell me if I have a good chance of getting in or not? I really appreciate it!</p>

<p>I'm going for biomed engineering / chemical engineering</p>

<p>I don't want to disclose a lot, but I can give you a good idea:</p>

<p>roughly 3.4 GPA</p>

<p>ACT: 29
SAT: about 2080, with a 690 in math as my highest, and a 720 in reading as my highest.</p>

<p>My essay turned out well, I think.</p>

<p>a mix of extracurricular activities include:
-robotics,
-piano,
-band,
-science knowledge bowl
-filmmaking club
-debate
-chess club</p>

<p>-awards in:
-piano competitions and music honor band
-debate tournaments
-academics (AP scholar and national merit commended)
-chess tournaments</p>

<p>-job experience</p>

<p>so tell me what you think! I really appreciate any feedback!</p>

AP Calc 1 and 2 (AB and BC)
AP English 3 and 4
AP PHY
AP CHEM</p>

<p>I would say that your are in at Purdue. I am not familiar with TAMU, however.</p>

<p>Thank you, mattmurph, for your reply! I appreciate it!
Anyone else know about TAMU? The more opinions the better! :D</p>

5

<p>um, anyone? once again, it would be really great to get some opinions, so any feedback is appreciated!</p>

<p>What is your class rank? What were your SAT scores, without superscoring, in Math and Critical Reading?</p>

<p>Thanks for responding,</p>

<p>My reading was 670 first time, 720 second.</p>

<p>Math: 680 first, 690 second.</p>

<p>Class rank: it’s the top half. Not in the top 10 percent. That’s all I can give; sorry if that’s not enough to work with :(</p>

<p>Let me know if more info is needed! Thanks!</p>

<p>Your SAT scores don’t correlate with your GPA- if your GPA was higher you ought to have aimed at top schools.</p>

<p>I am trying to get into TAMU myself - I see your going for an engineering major. TAMU has become very selective but I think you have a good chance.
3.4 is a ok GPA - extracurricular activities and awards will help you a lot. All you really need is a strong solid essay and you should get in!</p>

<p>If you are in the top 25%, you are definately in at A&M. Otherwise, you are in, but after a full review. The only way you run into a problem is if the average SAT scores at your school are below 1600 (which seems unlikely to me). What is the average SAT score at your school?</p>

<p>Thank you for the replies!</p>

<li><p>I know my GPA is low, which is why I didn’t apply to higher schools like Harvard, Stanford and the like. I assure you that these are legitimate scores, if that was the question at hand.</p></li>
<li><p>Thank you for your reply! I wish you good luck too!</p></li>
<li><p>Thank you as well! No my school’s SAT and ACT scores are generally high. </p></li>

<p>Thank you very much for all the answers! I REALLY really appreciate it! :D</p>
