Howdy! My dream school is Texas A&M but not sure I will make the cut. What do y’all think my chances are of making TEAM or full admission with these stats?
GPA: Unweighted 3.4, weighted 4.0
ACT: 27 (Taking prep course hoping to get higher)
My school only ranks the top 25% which I’m not in. I’m a Texas resident.
Extracurriculars: 3 (soon to be 4 year) theatre and choir member.
I plan on applying as an English major.
Thanks! Liz

or what could i do in the time i have left to improve chances
@Liz1011 The chance for review applicants as a whole is not high. Last year, there were about 1000 students from the second quarter to enroll and 202 from 3Q. The closer you are to the first quarter, the better. If your school does not rank past 25%, then A&M will assign you a rank based on your GPA and the schools grading scale. Then they combine the rank with your test scores to determine a projected GPA you would earn at TAMU. The higher your test score, the higher your projected GPA may be. That is 50% of the decision. Work hard to improve your score to a 30+ to improve your chances.
While 2Q and 3Q admissions are small, they do happen.
