<p>I'm ranked 57/488.. 9 out of the top ten. 3.6 gpa 1710 SAT 1100 CR&M did all three essays and sent letters of recommendation. My extra-curriculars were pretty solid. I applied to the liberal arts school.. first choice: communication. second choice: Telecommunication MediaStudies. What're my chances.. and has anyone else not top 10% heard from A&M?</p>
<p>i think you could get in, only 50% of A&Ms kids are top 10 and 37% are review admits , im still waiting to hear my self</p>
<p>Ouch. That’s a solid rank with below average test scores. You might get in if you applied early. There are plenty of applicants who are outside top 10% and got in already (especially if they were an academic admit). Your chances are below average. I’d say about 33% chance. You’ll most likely be waitlisted…</p>
<p>@Xcellerator how are you so sure? its not like hes applying to UT? 70% top 10</p>
<p>and the average SAT score is like 501 in each section so how is he below average?</p>
<p>Lots of students from my school love A&M. A couple of friends of mine last year applied with similar rank and test scores and were waitlisted, but got in eventually.</p>
<p>The average SAT score is a ~1210 M/CR. A&M only looks at the M/CR scores…</p>
<p>I’m a girl. 
and I applied to the liberal arts college… is it really that competitive?</p>
<p>Not really. I don’t really know anything about the communication/telecommunication dept., but liberal arts is the easiest to get into.</p>
<p>with that in mind you still think i have a 33% chance? i had great recommendations and 30 DC hours. What’s your major?</p>
<p>i think u could get in Liberal Arts, i picked Psychology myself but will probably choose Poly Sci</p>
<p>The average nationwide may be 500 per section, but A&M is a tier one school, so you expect the SAT average to be higher than the national average. In fact, its ~1200 on Math/CR which is higher than the OP got.</p>
<p>o ok i will be glad when other Texas Universities get Tier 1 status, we have plenty schools with enough students</p>
<p>i also wasn’t in top 10%. I had similar stats, but I was in top quarter (278/1329).
I waited almost 6 months to get accepeted. I probably would’ve waited longer if not for my 30 on the act to bump from review–>auto admit applicant. </p>
<p>nevertheless, you have pretty decent stats! youll most likely get accepted</p>
<p>jmre77 - Still a 33% chance, yes. It will depend a lot of other things too. I’m a freshman Biology major…</p>
<p>Well… I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I had one “average” essay and one “above average” essay… a director from UT told me that.</p>
<p>I am an out-of-state review admit. I am in the top 15%, my ACT was 30, 26 math and 30 english. I applied in November, and I heard back January 11th. I’m an English major… I really don’t think the liberal arts school is that hard of one to get into :] </p>
<p>I talked to an admissions officer in November and I asked her when I would hear back. She said that if you applied before Thanksgiving/Winter Break you would hear back sooner. Because they have SO many applications coming in during the winter months, people who apply then don’t usually hear back until mid-March. :] you should hear soon!!</p>
<p>I have a friend that applied in January maybe late December who is just out of the top 10% and he FINALLY heard last week!
matter of fact, there are about 5 people (that I know of) going to A&M from my class (probably including me) and only two of us were in the top 10%
So they definitely accept a lot of people 
you can get accepted as long as you’re well rounded! lol</p>
<p>In my honest opinion, A&M is quite generous with their admissions and maybe a bit too generous. I think you have a decent shot since you are looking at liberal arts.</p>
<p>Eagerly waiting. What are my chances? :/</p>
<p>325/790 Class rank (Very large competitive Texas high school)
3.7 GPA on a weighted 4.5 scale
SAT- 650 Math 640 Reading 570 Writing
ACT- 29 Math 30 Science 28 Reading 25 Writing (Avg: 29)</p>
<p>Many AP classes, 4 year varsity lacrosse member. Worked a job and many community service hours. What worries me is my class rank. Out of my high school, only 8 people were in the top 10 percent who were not tied for #1 in the class (perfect GPA). So that pretty much screwed my chances for an auto-admit.</p>
<p>I’m worried now!</p>
<p>you could have an auto admit if you were top 25% and 1300 SAT - you were close on the SAT or a 30 on the ACT - again you were close…</p>
