Applying for Engineering Major

@TexasGuy2019 Yes, I think you will be offered full admissions to College Station engineering.
Part of what they are looking for in the maths in readiness for the rigors of academically challenging engineering calculus. There will be a math placement test for students when they attend their New Student Conference. They also take into account the maths that are offered at a school and what maths the applicant chooses to take. You will be fine for admission.

Galveston has historically (the past 4 cycles) been for high scoring review admits when the number of full admissions to college station seats run out. A&M always accepts more than will accept admission. Those who decline their offer of admission does not make more room for additional offers of admission to be made.

Blinn Engineering Academy (Not Blinn Team - Blinn Team is all other majors except engineering) is an admission decision given to review admits and auto admits with low SAT. Last year, we saw some review applicants offered more than one option, getting to chose Galveston, Blinn Engineering Academy or Engineering Academy at McAllen. The Engineering Academy spots are limited and are first come, first serve so if an applicant should not sit on the offer too long or they could lose that option.

Top 10% and Academic Admits applying to engineering have high math scores and are typically highly qualified and get into engineering in College Station. 1430 is a great score but isn’t uncommon among engineering applicants. My son was a 1470 (and thought he was smart, until he met a lot of the other students. He’s surrounded by thousands of really smart people rather being a % out of a below 1000 student body. Getting in and staying in are two separate things, not to mention, being competitive enough to get the major you want. Don’t make the mistake and think anything about Engineering at a nationally ranked top 15 University will be/is easy.
