@AGmomx2 Thank you for being so thorough! Because of my son’s 35 on his ACT, he receives automatic full tuition at a school here in state, but he only has eyes for A&M, as it seems do so many. His GPA ((UW 3.8), rank (5/82), course load, and EC’s are also very good. He’s extremely involved and well-rounded, but somehow we are only now grasping the reality that even with all of that hard work, nothing is guaranteed. Please don’t get me wrong that we are grateful he can still get a good education here in Louisiana, but it will be so disappointing to not qualify for OOS and be a part of such an amazing place as A&M. Thank you again. If nothing else, during the painful wait, we can at least have other people to talk these things out with. It doesn’t change things, but we’re not alone. Hopefully, I’ll soon be an Aggie mom to pass on what I’ve learned to other newbies like me.
