Scoring A in A-Level is not easy.
First question, A-Level in Pure Math or Calculus/Applied Maths?
If your student has “A” in both math, Calculus I/II will be easy in TAMU.
Physics A-level is also far advanced. Both Physics in TAMU freshmen ETAM year (spring semester) is entry level Kinematics.
Another question is Chemistry, does your student have A-Level Chemistry? B or A grade will be good enough to handle ETAM.
What about your student programming experience? If your student have experience in Python then ETAM will be a plain sailing year.
For CS, aiming for 4.0 GPA is a must. Out of 2894 Freshmen in Fall 2021, 468 have 4.0 and 749 have 3.75 or higher. Most of these top students will likely choose Aerospace and Computer Science. ETAM guarantee GPA (of 3.75) only applies to current year and it can change any time.
ETAM year likely will need 26 to 27 (honor) credit hours. Holistic review will favor students having A in core classes (PHY/CHEM/MATH) and the major related essay.
