<p>What are my chances of getting into Texas A&M?
Currently a junior in high school.
3.3 GPA
exactly in the top third in class rank (33 percentile exactly) - This is probably going to get around the top quarter by the time I'm done with my junior year
mostly high B's with some A's</p>

<p>Now for all the extra curricular from freshman to senior year
-Eagle Scout (Atleast a 50-100 hours of volunteer work through boyscouts)
-Assistant Crew Leader on a Backpacking trek in New Mexico (Philmont)
-Babysat for 2 months the summer before my freshman year (6 hours a weeks)
-worked 2 weeks at a regional soccer tournament last summer (4 hours a day)
-I will be volunteering at a hospital this summer ( atleast 30 hours a week)
-4 years of wrestling (1 year JV, 3 years Varsity) (24 hours a week in season,4 months)
-Most Improved Wrestler Sophomore Year
-Heart of the Team award Junior Year
-will be Captain senior year
-2 years of jv football (13 hours a week for 4 months each year)
-9 total AP classes taken in high school

<p>Take ACT as well as SAT - some test better on ACT. You should start soon so you can take them again if you need to get higher scores.
Go visit campus, major college of choice,Satellite admission center, if there are any A&M high school camps/activities you can attend-do it. It is important to show A&M you are very interested in them. Visit the Corp - there is a special day for that, be there.</p>

<p>77% at A&M are top quarter of their class, and a lot of the other 23% are probably from non ranking high schools. I’d do everything I could to improve my rank if I were you.</p>

<p>just take the SAT and ACT and just apply like october or november, that way you have a good shot</p>
