You need to be in the top 25% of your graduating class if your class ranks. If it doesn’t rank, then A&M will use your test scores and GPA and assign you one. If they put you in second quarter, your chances decrease a lot for admissions.

A&M admits the top 10% of students and academic admits http://admissions.tamu.edu/freshman/admitted
There is very little room for full admissions from the review applicant pool.
Showing interest doesn’t carry any weight for admissions unless they are considering you for an alternative pathway admissions decision and its a toss up between you and someone else. With so few spots for review admits, there will be highly qualified applicants to get those spots without the need to look at the interest they showed.

If you can graduate in the top quarter and have the SAT scores needed with sub scores, you will be an academic admit and automatically placed into your major when your application is processed. Apply as soon as possible as soon as applications open in July.

It is not only the popularity of a major but the number of seats available. Engineering has over 4000 in their freshman class on campus. Mays business accepts 1000 freshman and that is it. Visualization has a very small department and seats fill. Allied and public health also fill up. Don’t be too sure that Biology doesn’t fill up. I wouldn’t risk it by waiting too long to apply.

A&M is also shrinking their incoming freshman classes from the past two admission cycles. Fall 2017 had 534 freshman enrolled in biology and Fall 2018 had 525. Fall 2019 numbers will likely drop (figures available in Nov) and 2020 is likely to be smaller still by a few seats.
