<p>You have great EC’s and Community service hours.</p>

<p>The problem is… when you say you are from a really competitive high school, the class ranking can be excused. Your low SAT scores cannot. with a barely top 50% and low SAT’s you should really get ready to try an alternate route to be an Aggie. And that can easily be done going to Blinn or A&M Galveston.</p>
