One thought is to use Naviance, if your daughter’s school has it, to look at the scattergrams for TAMU. That might give you a better picture and context, of how 2nd quartile applicants do from your school (if there’s enough data to analyze). As has been previously mentioned, chancing review applicants is ‘parlour games’ for TAMU. It’s such a numbers thing that there’s no way to predict. Did TAMU rank her in 2nd quarter, or did her school?
