Automatic admission into TAMU?

Tamu is one of my top choices for universities, and I would stop all other applications in a heartbeat if I knew that I would get automatic admissions.

Currently I fall on the borderline of “review admit”. My school is abit competitive, and a bout of mono in junior year (missed 21 days) dropped my class rank from top 15% to the top 28%. 2 points out of 100 is enough to drop me 13% in class rank. Needless to say, this has hurt my chances at universities that highly value class rank.

If after my first semester grades are in (around january 20th) can I send an updated transcript that indicates that I am in the top 25% and qualify for automatic academic admissions, or is that too late?

I am currently:

Top 28%, 7 AP classes 94.0 GPA/100
SAT score of 1920: 700 Reading, 620 Math, 600 Writing

Since my MATH+CR is over 1300, I qualify for automatic academic admissions but my class rank holds me back.

I worked my butt off during the first half of senior year and hopefully I will be able to move into the top quarter of my class. Will A&M accept this transcript and move me into automatic admission category? If they don’t how do my chances hold with my current SAT and Rank/GPA?

Thank you from a hopeful Aggie in class of 2015!
