Another question for you guys. If I transfer within the next month (during junior year) should my rank be in my new high schools ranking system? Another question. My parents are very poor, they make under 35k for sure, and possibly less than 30k, so I am heavily relying on financial aid(applying for the FAFCSA thing). Because I am having to switch schools, relying on financial aid as well, how early can I apply for these colleges?

I forgot to mention A&M is also a prospective school that I am interested in attending for their petroleum engineering program. Their auto admits are top 10% or 600 on both Reading Comprehension and Math of the ACT. However, I am not completely certain I could attain a 600 on the Reading section. I am however reviewing with Barron’s and the Blue Book for this SAT. I am probably about 120-150 points from making a 600 on the reading section and this was without studying/ preparing at all.

MY question is… How early can I apply for these colleges, with the whole fafsa situation and the transferring schools situation in my way.

I really appreciate everyone’s help btw. I am a first generation dude attending college in this country.

@perazzimin… I completely understand that from a intellectually beneficial standpoint attending this bad school is not my best option. However, I’m willing to make this sacrifice, so I can attend one of these great schools. I’ve also taken 4 AP courses, taking 3-4 test this year, should do well hopefully, and am taking a couple more next year. I’ve always taken almost all Pre-AP, not sure why I did not take all pre-AP the whole times
