I also think you should apply. Your priorities should be to make sure your rank is in top quarter so that you are an academic admit. Your test scores already qualify you for admission. One option is to maximize your scores. Look carefully at how to describe extracurriculars that relate to your intended major.

Texas A&M makes lots of data available here:

Here is sat and act data by ranked college and quarter (data for 2014 because 2015 data not divided by quarters):

So a 1300 is above the median. This data is more complete than the site you mentioned.

Finally, spend a lot of time on your essays as that might be the determining factor.
