Can you get in the ACT before the admissions deadline? Some people do much better on ACT over SAT. What were your SAT Math and Critical Reading scores? Are they close to 1300?
The College of Business is going to be very competitive.
Are you taking AP Calculus?

i would say maybe.

SAT not very high.

GPA not very high.

you can try the ACT, but with the SAT you have now it is not likely you will hit the auto admit cutoff.

your ECs are decent, but i am not sure you will make it past step 1 with the rank/gpa/sat score.

if i were you i would try to get that SAT/ACT score up for an auto admit.

i know a&m is not really that selective, but maybe it has a high admission rate because peoplejust don't apply if they aren't close to *********.

my DD has higher stats that you do and i wouldn't say she is a shoe in either.

: /

if you are not competitive for admission now, then they may not tell you until way late in the game. so have a plan b in place, just in case.

yea, i'm really relying on the sat.
if i can just get that sat score, i'm in.
and yes i am taking ap calc.
i know a&m has a pretty good biz and finance program,
and the campus is soo relaxing.

Should be able to get no problem ec's and ap classes

Lt me tell u my story, I wasnt in the top 20% of my class and my sat was 1780. The oly EC's I had was band and UIL computer science. I got in the first time but not in the biz school. Its really eay to transfer into business all u need is a 3.0 avg and a 3.0 avg in certain business classes. So u dont have much to worry about and mays is very awesome!
