Should I wait to see if I have a chance to get in?

Alright so I applied to Texas A&M and I really want to go but I also have offers for money from other schools that I need to respond to soon or I’ll loose them, and they are binding so if I accept them I have to go. But I really want to go to A&M but I won’t know if I’m in until it’s too late to get the money elsewhere. Basically I want to know if I even have a shot in getting in through the review application I know that they care most about test scores and rank and neither of mine are super good.
My rank is in the top 28% with a 4.0 gpa
SAT breakdown
math 630
Reading 620
Writing 520
ACT composite 29

I know they won’t look at this as much but I also was in marching band all four years of high school and was in National honor society for two years. I got the presidential volunteer service award at the bronze level. I am president of a service organization. I also put that fact that I was homecoming president but I know that won’t do anything for but I figured it couldn’t hurt to add.

I should also add that this year I am tasking 6 Ap classes and took 3 my junior year.

I basically want to know if I even have a chance to get in or I’m wasting my time and should accept scholarships elsewhere. I really want to go but I need to take money if Don’t have a chance. I’m willing to take the chance however. If it is there.

Oh I see you mean the other schools. Smaller ones that most people haven’t heard of. They are great, just not were I particulalry want to go.

I’m curious to see what people have to say because we have similar stats. My class rank is 23% and I have a 29 ACT, so I am a review admit. When did you apply? Because hopefully our ACT scores are good enough to be accepted in the mid-january round which should be sometime around the 15th. I feel like if review applicants aren’t accepted in January and applied early then they most likely got blinn team or gateway…
