yes, class rank. Even if your school does not rank, TAMU will assign you a rank based on your school profile.School profiles usually have information about your school - things like highest GPA in your class, # AP classes offered, grade weighting system (FYI there are some schools that are on a 7.0 scale all the way down to a 4.0 max. scale or a 100 point scale), class size, etc. Even homeschoolers have a rank assigned (they usually get 1st quarter) so a school that ‘does not rank’ will get a rank assigned by admissions. The stats online about GPA are generated for comparison by the companies that research school admissions- but they aren’t used for admission at TAMU. When you are in the review pool, they use rank & scores for 50% of the decision, the other 50% is everything else on your application. It is quite difficult to get into TAMU as a review admit. Over 80% of the freshman admits are academic or top 10% TX admits - less than 20% are review admits.
