Because I don’t know how many people in your school are applying and the ranking system there, but obviously try to consistently stay in the top 10%.
On SAT, I know that the SAT is an important factor amongst admissions. It is used to as a way to level all the students applying, as many students come from different types of schools. The math average score on the test is a 720 so try to get it up to at least a 700 or higher.
From what I’ve read and heard from people the are in TAMS, the interview is very laid back, with you and a few other students answering questions from several people, some students and some adults. The interview is meant to make sure you are actually wanting to go to TAMS, so by then, your grades are considered on par.
