Texas A&M University-College Station

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello! Can someone please tell me if I have a chance at A&M in the fall 2013? I would also be happy with a Blinn TEAM offer. Please give me my chances at both. My first choice major is Aerospace engineering and I plan to be in the Corps of Cadets.</p>

<p>GPA 3.08
ACT 22
SAT 490m 470r 420w
RANK 98/244
I am retaking the SAT in November after much studying. I am hoping for close to a 600 on both math and reading.</p>

<p>I have asked two of my teachers to write me letters of recommendation and will mail those in at the beginning of November.</p>

<p>EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Basketball - freshman team - 9th grade
Key club - 12th grade
I am in the process of volunteering at a local aviation business that helps train future pilots. I should start my volunteering sometime this week. I thought this would look good since my first choice major is Aerospace engineering. </p>

<p>I am going for a campus visit October 29th. I plan on having a prospective student session, talking with corps representatives, and touring the Aerospace engineering department. In November I am going to try to attend "spend the night with the corps" in order to show more interest.</p>

<p>I plan on applying near the beginning of November. I am writing all three essays and I will try to make them perfect.</p>

<p>Please give me your opinion and also tell me what I can do to better improve my chances of acceptance. Thanks!</p>

<p>Texas A&M is a reach for you…</p>

<p>What would help my application?
I wish I could go back to freshman year to participate more in academics and clubs but I can only go forward and improve what I have now. If I made a close to 600 on both math and reading do you think my chances will improve? And also where would you think I stand with the Blinn TEAM.</p>

<p>I am also taking Dual Credit classes an will graduate high school with 9 hours. I don’t know if this makes a difference or not.</p>

<p>To even apply for the engineering college requires a SAT Math score of a 550 (forgot corresponding ACT value). Getting into the engineering college will be difficult. Even with wonderful stats, those majors(especially Areospace) go away very fast.</p>

<p>Probably a reach. SAT is low, GPA is average. Good luck!</p>
