Texas A&M Admission Chances

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi! I'm currently going into my senior year in high school and i'm planning on studying meteorology and right now the only school i'm interested in is Texas A&M. Yes, i have some backups (OU, Mizzou, FSU) but I've always loved A&M and never felt the way I do at A&M with any other school. What are my chances?
SAT:1770
ACT: 26
GPA:3.74
Top 14.7% (115/780)
A Average</p>

<p>Extracurricular:
Vice President of Stuco (2013-Current)
[stuco was just added to my school this past spring]
President and founder of Philanthropy Club (2013-Current)
Non Varsity Womens Choir (2012-2013)
Varsity A Cappella Choir (2013-Current)
Class Council (2012-Current)</p>

<p>I've visited twice and also have a meeting with the meteorology councilor later this summer.
My current letters of recommendation: GMA Meterologist Ginger Zee, GMA Producer Sam Wnek, WFAA's Colleen Coyle and Pete Delkus, The Weather Channel's Sam Champion and The Weather Channel's executive Producer Darcy Bonfils.</p>

<p>After having my pictures used on GMA, I was invited to NYC by the producer of Good Morning America to come watch a live show and be able to ask Ginger Zee about begin a meteorologist and how she got to GMA (December 2013), which then led me to being invited and involved in my local news station in Dallas (2013-Current) , and ultimately led me to being invited to The Weather Channel by their executive producers to come watch a live taping and meet Sam Champion (will be doing this august). All of the people listed have mentioned writing letters of recs for me, so i'm going to choose 2-4 to put in my application.</p>

<p>What are my chances?
Thanks!</p>

<p>Very high with your strong recommendations and GPA (if unweighted?). However, try to raise your test scores if possible, every little bit helps.</p>

3

<p>if your Math and CR SAT scores are 1300 combined with at least 600 in both, you would be an auto admit. </p>

4

<p>May I ask what state you live in? Because very few applicants outside of Texas are accepted to TAMU</p>

5

<p>I live in Texas. </p>

<p>Just wanted to share my DD’s TAMU admissions stats from last year. She is a Texas resident and was admitted as a Review Admit for the fall of 2014 (current Freshman TAMU class of 2018) with the following stats:</p>

<p>top 27% of very competitive North Dallas area public HS
33 ACT composite</p>

<p>3 brief letters of rec from 1 employer & 2 volunteer work supervisors
Fairly good ECs, etc. - lots of volunteer and community service, employed last 2 years of HS, Band for 2 years of HS, NHS, AP Scholar, National Merit Commended Student.</p>

<p>She applied the first week of August 2013 and was admitted as a Review Admit on December 12, 2013.
(no scholarship $, but TAMU still the least expensive option of 7 out-of-state public and in-state private schools where she applied AND got scholarships.)</p>

<p>IMO, the rank and test scores are by far the most important factors… if you don’t have the scores, keep taking the tests until you bring them up. If your rank is near the top quarter, really good scores will make a difference.</p>
