Chances to get into Texas A&M??

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am wanting to go to Texas A&M and major in Mechanical Engineering, I am currently going into my senior year ranked 41/350, which is top 12% (not top 10% sadly...). I have already taken 2 AP classes, and am taking about 3 more next year. I haven't taken my SAT or ACT yet, but I have taken a practice one. I made about a 1350 on reading and math section, not to good on reading.. I was wondering what my chances are to get in to TAMU with my current grades and scores. Although I am hoping to take my SAT until I get a 1400 math and reading score. I'm not into extra curricular activities, but I think my ranking and scores should be fine. Leave me a comment on my chances and what I could do to improve them if I don't have the best chances.</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>First, try and get your reading score up on your SAT. You also might want to look into SAT subject tests. </p>

<p>And I’m going to put this in all caps to emphasize: YOU NEED EXTRACURRICULARS. Your scores do not make up for it. You need at LEAST 2, probably 3-5, activities you participate in to show your involved. And I would also suggest at least 1 leadership position. Seriously, that’s a big part of what colleges look for.</p>

<p>If you live in texas, you are automatically accepted to a&m if you are top 25% and have math+reading > 1300. The engineering college is much harder to get into though. Focus on Math and Science aspects.</p>

<p>You got a decent shot I’d say! Bump please!</p>

<p>Match…</p>

<p>I think it’s a little late to do any EC of substance…</p>

<p>You have a good chance with the only, but somewhat big flaw of having no extracurriculars. However, you still have a pretty decent chance and if jasseraid is right and you do indeed live in Texas, then I would focus on your SATs</p>

<p>Senior year…first SAT…? If your in your senior year, you might face problems, engineering fills up very quickly. Be sure to check your major.</p>

<p>ECs are a must. You need to take your SAT asap. Good luck.</p>
