i know my CR SAT score needs work, i am signed up for the decemeber SAT.
but if my SAT score does not improve (although i think it will) what are my chances with the score I have now?
ALSO, is anyone familiar with the Nutrition Science major? is it competitive at all?
i know it is nothing compared to engineering but i just hope that the spots aren't filled up.
Hi, For top 25%, they want 1300 composite SAT, can you retake? Do you have a unique quality that stands out? The admission guy at out Prospective Student Session emphasized that bigtime, to put in essay C. My daughter just got accepted as a review app with a 1360, her math was a little low to be auto academic admit. I would keep studying and retaking the SAT and ACT! A&M is so worth the hard work!
Well they only want a 1300 for automatic admission. I'm going to take the SAT again in December, but as much as I would like to, I don't think I will get a 1300. I'm hoping to improve my CR SAT score though. Thanks for your input, congrats to your daughter!
It's so hard to say on a review admit because it really depends on the others applying. Last year it was pretty competitive and my D had friends that waited until early March to hear back.
I think your SAT might be a little on the low side. Hopefully your ACT scores will put you more in range.
Make sure you have a well written essay (on essay C) maybe ask an English teacher at your school to proof read and give feedback..
Well I already turned it in, I wanted to be on the early side turning it in since I know review admits are so competitive. But thanks for your input, I hope my ACT scores were better as well.
Congratulations on being such a great student. Good luck on your ACT. If you could get that reading score to a 600, I think you'd be a pretty solid bet. As it is, I think you have a shot. Would you consider Blinn Team?
That degree is one that is listed on the TAP program.
Considering Blinn Team only because I live in the area. But I would really like to get into A&M.. And yeah I know I need to bring it my CR score to a 600 :/ hopefully the SAT in December goes well.
Good luck, Nicoleg! If your ACT composite is at least a 30, you will be an auto admit--hopefully you'll get good news when your scores arrive. The SAT requirement is 1300, with a minimum of 600 on both Math and CR. Are you doing any sort of review course or self-study to boost your CR?
The average SAT this year for the whole freshman class was 1220 and average ACT was 27, so if your scores end up at or near that point, you'll have a good chance as a review admit. Otherwise, Blinn Team is certainly a good option for you.
