Will I get into college?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a senior. I have a 3.61 GPA and I got a 25 on my ACT. I want to apply to Texas A and M, and Texas Tech as well as Texas techs honors college. I'm in NHS, FFA and I've taken many ap courses and gotten either a 4 or 5. Will I get in to this colleges and honors college? Or should I go to community college?</p>

<p>Don’t go to CC…I recommend retaking ACT and apply to those schools.</p>

<p>I hope you like Texas Tech…</p>

<p>Texas Tech: Safety (if top-25% in-state)/Match (otherwise)
TAMU: Reach (maybe high match if a 3.61 amounts to a top-15%)</p>

<p>“Don’t go to CC”</p>

<p>CC is a great choice for many reasons and many types of students.

  1. From a financial perspective, CC makes much more sense than going to a 4-year and taking the same lower division classes for a much higher price
  2. If you want to go to a very prestigious 4-year, it is MUCH easier to get in as a transfer student than as a freshman applicant. The average GPA of transfer students admitted to 4-years is significantly lower than freshman applicants.
  3. You will never have a TA at a CC and the instructors there have one sole purpose: to teach (not do research). It is much easier to be the shining star student at a CC and get those wonderful letters of rec than it is right off the bat as a freshman.
  4. Your slate gets wiped clean when you go to CC- your HS grades, SAT scores, etc will not matter for transfer applicants. </p>

<p>My advice- think this through yourself and don’t listen to people who tell you “CC isn’t good enough”, etc. </p>

<p>What is your rank? I’m assuming you’re from Texas as well. In that case there are tons of schools you can get into (which is really cool and something I never knew about until the summer). I’m sure all of us in Texas know about the top 10% at TAMU and top 7% at UT, but many other public schools have guaranteed admission. Check them out here: </p>

<p>Specifically you were interested in Texas A&M:</p>

<p>Also check out University of Houston (Personally I’m not because literally everyone in my school is going either there or TAMU, but yeah):</p>
