First of all, @RMNiMiTz , you qualify as an academic admit by score & rank, - you will be admitted to the university as long as you submit a complete application. The next issue is Engineering majors - unlike other majors- they compete for admission to the engineering college through holistic review (everything counts) you will be offered something - TAMU engineering, Blinn Engineering (which is NOT Blinn TEam), or Galveston Engineering. Your chances are not ‘low’, they just involve holistic review which takes into consideration preparedness for major as well as strength of application. That is very different, it is tough to predict. It’s still a pretty new process, so whether or not your GPA will have much of a negative impact is not well established ( 14 APs & weighted 3.89 means lots of B’s in APs -those are considered college courses) however, they will be looking at your entire application.
@mary77 rank is what the admissions look at here - they are divided up to quarters but your score within is also noted. Yours is 35% as quoted above. That is 2nd quartile, which puts you into the review category. 1150 is not very competitive when combined with 2nd quarter. Your best bet is to get that number as close to academic admit standards (1360) as possible and trying the ACT is a great move too. If you are referring to volunteer hours - they don’t have to be documented - not all schools do that (ours did not). So, yes you can claim the hours you did volunteer work (we learned that TX has a very broad definition of volunteer hours) on your application. The way applications work here is that you apply to the university first then if accepted, you can pick any open major EXCEPT engineering (that is fairly new). So it is not easier to get into the university based on your major. That being said - there are other options - look into Blinn Team, that might be a realistic pathway for you. You go part time to BlinnCC & part time at TAMU. Your essays could certainly help your situation - that’s where you get a chance to explain your issues/hardships etc. Do your best to finish out the year strong & study hard for the exams, carefully create essays and get your recomendations on file.
