<p>Srry Bro, ur class rank and SAT are less than mediocre but ur ACT score is alright, which might help you. Just right a kik azz essay and boost up ur ECCs. Then, you might have a chance.</p>

<p>^^ btw, I don't think Middle School ECCs count</p>

5

<p>i think u have a good chance, just get ur sat score 100 points higher</p>

<p>I included middle school years of ECs for the two activities I was still involved in. For instance, I had a church service activity that I did from 5-12th grade. I think that shows continuity and dedication. In cardstocks case, I might leave the band in as it shows he did it for more than 2 years, as a lot of his ECs were only for a year. It shows he stuck with something for 5 years. I think that TAMU would rather see a couple of long term commitments than 5 or 6 one year commitments. Also, NHS and Chinese HS should really go under Academic Honors rather than ECs, don't you think? Otherwise, I agree that the scores need to come up, but otherwise you look like a good chance....good luck and gig 'em!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone.
Waiting for my December SAT scores to come in, hopefully my critical reading went up.</p>
