<p>Hi there --</p>
<p>I'm currently an out-of-state Junior in high school and will be applying to Texas A&M early during the summer. I have wanted to go there since I knew I wanted to go to college so I'm a little anxious about applying. I think I have a solid chance of getting in, I just was wondering what everyone else thinks. Here are my credentials:</p>
<p>Class rank: 43/511 (top 8%)
GPA: 5.13 out of 5 weighted
ACT: Took it my sophomore year and got a 26. Taking it this weekend, shooting for a 28.
Ice Hockey all years
Have a job
English NHS (still pending application to regular NHS)
Environmental-Club (taken several leadership roles while in the club)
Was a Teacher's Assistant Sophomore Year
Received a school award junior year
Some volunteer hours (will be getting a lot more this summer)
Civil Air Patrol (United States Air Force Auxiliary)
I am planning on joining the Corps of Cadets
Have been on an official Texas A&M campus visit</p>
<p>I've taken pretty rigorous classes throughout high school (including quite a few AP), but TAMU said that they don't really consider course difficulties...So I'm not sure on that one.</p>
<p>Like I said, I think my chances are pretty solid. Let me know what you think.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
