Texas A&M University chances (Low rank, decent SAT)

<p>Hi guys. I'm a senior in high school right now and I'd like to get into Texas A&M University.</p>

<p>SAT: 1880
CR: 630
Math: 620
Writing: 630</p>

<p>Here's the kicker</p>

<p>GPA: 3.4 (86.8)
Class rank: 380/579 (66%)</p>

<p>African American</p>

<p>I'd like to get in but my class rank really beats me up. My SAT is too high for my class rank. If I could go back and increase my class rank that'd be awesome. I switched high schools twice due to moving.</p>

<p>It’s going to be tough! I’m applying to A&M as well, top choice. Unfortunately I’d say it’s a low reach right now. Good luck!</p>

<p>I think you could make it, if you were top 25% with that SAT score you would have been automatic
You should write your essay about how moving has affected you and how you worked through it
Good luck!</p>

<p>Do you think they’d actually read the essay and not just write it off as BS?</p>

<p>Oh and what is their automatic admit? I know top 10 8% but how does it work for top 25%</p>

Did you get in? Just wondering as I am in a similar situation today, with a 1370(630cr,740m) and rank 52%… thanks
