Chances for TAMS?

<p>bump guys please help :D</p>

<p>help please i really need it :D</p>

<p>I am currently a student at TAMS. You should have no problem getting in, as you are well qualified. After getting in, the choice is yours as to whether or not you would like to attend. I believe TAMS is the right place for you because your accomplishments in the maths and sciences are “eye-catching”. You will enjoy all the science competitions we compete in over here, and I’m looking forward to seeing you next year.</p>

<p>Thanks, I was really starting to get worried about everything my parents were saying. What’s it like Leo? Is it really as hard as everyone says? Is it worth it?</p>

<p>lets bump this up for tams students</p>

<p>Hey there, another tams student checking in. I came to tams from a part of texas that doesn’t really know about tams (was first in several years to attend from my town). Most tams students come from the DFW area (especially Plano) or Houston. The hardest part about first semester was biology, but that was because I wasn’t studying the “right” way. All the other classes weren’t very challenging. Currently, second semester bio is pretty good and easier than first semester. I think that it was worth coming because tams has given me a lot of opportunities that aren’t available in my hometown. If you want a challenge, then you should definitely apply! Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions. :)</p>

<p>Bump it up</p>

<p>bumps it up And i forgot to add i am a member of Mensa and Intertel, does that matter?</p>
