Do I have a good chance to get into Texas A&M Engineering with these grades/scores?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am planning on transferring to Texas A&M Engineering from another college. I live in Maryland and go to University of MD.
These are my grades from my first 2 semesters of college.
Next semester I want to get into TAMU to study petroleum engineering. Do I have a good chance of getting in?</p>

<p>International Relations - A
Calculus - A
Physics -B
Honors Art - A
Philosophy - A
Psychology - A
Intro to Engineering - A
Japanese - A
Chemistry - A
First Aid/Safety/CPR - A
English - A
Geology - A</p>

<p>My college GPA is almost perfect.</p>

<p>SAT SCORE - 1700</p>

<p>My high school GPA was 3.0</p>

<p>I also have a lot of extra curricular activities:
High School Golf Team.
Treasurer in the Center for the study of Local Issues
And more...</p>

<p>I want to apply but if TAMU has too high of standards I want to know if I should just apply at other lower standard engineering colleges.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Also, is there anything else I can do to get a higher chance of getting into this college?</p>

<p>Look at Section D of the Common Data Set.<br>

Your grades help a great deal and your SATs don’t matter. However, going to section C7 you can see that the state you are from matters a great deal as well. Only 3% of students are from outside TX. It is a reach.</p>

<p>Also, as an OOS student you’d be paying a lot of money. Can you afford that?</p>
