Wow

<p>Texas A&M has got to be one of the only schools that turns me off to it more and more every time I hear its alumni talk.</p>

<p>A few weeks ago, I had some valedictorian luncheon thing with a bunch of A&M's "who's who," including the mayor of Austin, and it was just awful. </p>

<p>They continuously (and proudly!) described it as a quaint school for "good ol' boys," a place where Average Joes pass each other and say "howdy, neighbor!"</p>

<p>It became pretty obvious that they had no clue about the intentions of their audience. Here they were, talking to a room full of Harvard hopefuls, ranting on and on about that "small town feel." Sheesh. </p>

<p>At one point, they mentioned the minimum SAT score required to gain automatic admission to the Honors Programs, much less the school itself, and I almost choked.</p>

<p>That may be all well and good for other high school students, but I would encourage A&M reps to play to their audience a bit more.</p>

<p>Ah well, to each his own, I suppose.</p>

<p>Maybe you should send a complaint letter.
I don't think CC will change anything.</p>

<p>Plenty of colleges to choose from my friend..</p>

<p>hookem, your name says your preference. I always find it amazing how tU fans/students have to come on the TAMU board to smash the Aggies. You should be secure in your own school, my friend. tU has a definite attitude about them and you prove the point. That is why I chose TAMU over tU. It's all in the attitude. Oh, and good luck with Harvard....

<p>What is the minimum SAT I score to gain automatic admission to the Honors College at Texas A&M University?</p>

<p>I don't think there is an automatic admission to the Honors College. The lowest you can get to still get in (Probably with killer ECs and grades) is a 1250. </p>

<p>The automatic admission to just Texas A&M is a 1300 in the top 25% which is very respectable. </p>

<p>I don't think they were really lying about the feel of the school, just being honest. It's a great school with many academics being at UT level or above. It's just a difference in attitude. </p>

<p>DP</p>

<p>And you need to be in the top 10% of your class.</p>

<p>And why should TAMU "play to the audience"? They are looking for good fits for their school. If you are not a good fit, someone else will be. They do not lie and purport to be someone else they are not.....it's all in the attitude....</p>
