Chance Me

High School: Clear Lake High School in Houston
G.P.A.: 3.77 out of 4.5 (basically out of a 5, but my school caps it off at 4.5); graduating in the 2nd quartile.
S.A.T.: 1940. Re-took it again this October.
A.C.T.: 30
Extra-Curricular: a lot

Well then, after looking at my atrocious stats, what are my chances of getting in?

It going to come down to a breakdown of your SAT/ACT components for academic-admit. See below. What's your Math/English ACT?
If you don't have the #'s for academic, I think you have a very good chance as a Review Admit.

Academic Admits

Applicants qualify for automatic academic admission, if:
they are ranked in the top quarter of their graduating class, and
achieve a combined SAT Math and SAT Critical Reading score of at least 1300 with a test score of at least 600 in each of these components; or achieve a composite ACT score of at least 30 with a test score of at least 27 in ACT Math and ACT English. Students must take the writing component of the SAT and/or ACT in order for the test score to be considered, and
have successfully taken all recommended coursework, and
ensure all required credentials are received by the freshman closing date.

Yeah, I did hear about this automatic admit thing at A&M where if you have at least a 1300 on the S.A.T. on the Math and Reading and you're graduating in the first quarter of your class, then you're automatically admitted. I qualify for half of that: I got a 610 on the Reading and a 650 on the Math, but I'm not graduating in the first quarter. But I think I qualify for the A.C.T. one because I got a 30 composite score with a 33 in Math and a 30 in Reading. Does this mean that I'm automatically admitted?

You just need to get in the top quarter and then yes you will be an automatic admit with your ACT score
