So. I’m youth ambassador. I’m doing my senior year of highschool abroad in Spain. Ideally I’d like to get into Texas A&M at Galveston (I’m from tx) and study Marine Biology. In Spain I will be studying the biology branch. I was 100% self taught as a homeschooler so bedsides transcripts I made myself (and obviously I’ll get transcripts while abroad in Spain) I don’t have much in the ways of grades. Oh I did take a class at UT at Austin. What I do have is a wealth of extracurricular activities both academic and non academic. Basically I can say with complete certainty that my application will be great. The thing is that I haven’t taken SAT or ACT, I can’t take them abroad, and I leave in a month so I don’t think I have time to study and make a good score. I have to get my college app in before next year so it will be too late by the time I get back. What do I do? I’ve heard that SAT ACT tests are not always required for homeschoolers. I also heard that we are considered the top 25% just for being homeschooled. Is this true? I’m not sure what to do at this point. I don’t want to work at mcdonalds. Oh! I am good friends with a graduate at TAMUG and she discussed me at a laboratory meeting this morning. They were all impressed that I am interested in phito plankton (noctiluca scintillans if you’re wondering). So there’s some more info. Any advice would be awesome.
