I would think your chances are very good, but I am certainly no expert. My son is also applying to mechanical engineering and several of your scores are higher than his, so if you don’t get in, he’s in trouble, although I do not know much about IB. My son will have 14 AP classes by the time he graduates and has done very well in all, and has all 4/5 on the ones he’s taken so far. He has been automatically admitted, but is still waiting to hear about engineering major. I am anxious too, but, as a mom, I hope I can reassure you that I’m sure that your parents only want you to be happy. If worse comes to worst and he does not get into engineering, I will be disappointed FOR him, but not disappointed WITH him. I know he has worked his butt off and made sure he was in top 6% at his super competitive high school. He is a super bright kid with a great work ethic, and he will be an engineer, and I have no doubt a good one, no matter where he goes to school. No one school is the be all, end all. I can promise you that. They teach the same engineering principles at Texas A&M as they do at Stanford. I am sure that you will get good news soon, and I hope my son does as well, but even if you don’t, you will still be successful. I say that as a proud Longhorn alum–I have 2 degrees from Texas, and although I’d love my son to go there too and would not want him to go to A&M, I have no doubt, he could get just as good of an engineering education at A&M as he can at Texas. Try not to worry too much about things that are out of your control. As a chronic worrier, I know that is easier said than done, but you have done everything you have control of, and now it is out of your hands. Worrying about it won’t change the outcome, it can only drive you crazy. Try to stay busy and not stress about it! Good luck.
