STATS:
32% class rank
26 ACT (I plan on retaking)
Haven’t taken SAT yet

Extracurriculars:

Secretary of Political Activism Club (4 years)
Part time job for 9 months
Possible internship at a local newspaper

I know my class rank sucks, but if I raised my ACT would I still have a chance? I plan on taking the SAT soon also. The 26 was without studying or prep at all so I’m feeling semi confident. I made an 1160 on my PSAT with no prep either. My essays + letters of rec should be great also, but I know A&M cares more about class rank and test scores than anything else. My intended major will either be in business or biomedical science. Do I have a chance?

*Edit to add: I will be taking some CC classes this fall to help with figuring out my career path, since I’m thinking about going into CS. Classes will be programming and possibly biology.
