Do I have a chance at TAMS?

I’m a sophomore in Frisco and I am applying for the 2024 class of TAMS. Based on my grades and some of my extracurriculars, does anybody think I have a shot or do I still need to add more?

I know my grades aren’t good but if I get a good score on my SAT (1450+), do I have a better shot? I have studied for the last year for it. I don’t know if this will reach out to anyone but please reply if possible.

Thanks

Hello. I am also applying to the TAMS class of 2024, and I hope to see you there! Your extracurriculars look really good, so maybe that combined with a good SAT score may balance out a few Bs here and there. I guess it also depends on how you do on the essay and short answer questions, in addition to teacher recommendations. I am by no means an expert, but I this is my impression of your chances. Good luck :slight_smile:

Also, could you check out my Chance me thread? It’s titled Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science: Chance me/ Info needed. I’m kind of nervous about my application since I come from a small school with fewer opportunities.
