What are my chances?

@sacredpro Mays will be a no. Mays takes only 1000 freshmen and those spots are taken by the early applying top 10% and academic admits. They do reserve a few spots for highly qualified review applicants and your rank will keep you out of that consideration.

Engineering is going to look at your math readiness, and that is after/if you are accepted into the university.

Review applicants are just so hard to chance due to the variables that no one else but the Admissions Officers see.
One thing they do is take your class rank and your scores and using algorithms, predict a GPA that you would earn at A&M and then they add in everything else (EC’s, essays, leadership, etc).

While these are not scientific in any way but it might help give you an idea that there is a chance.

From the 110 engineering applicants that participated on the forum last year, There was one applicant who was second quarter who received admission in Nov with a 1360 but that student was also a National Hispanic Scholar.

There were two other review, second quarter applicants from last cycle who received full admissions in January. One was 28% and a SAT1430 (no subscores provided) and the other was 2nd Qtr (no % provided) with a ACT 32 (33M, 28S, 35R, 31E 8E )

Five second quarter applicants received Engineering Academy at Blinn.
2nd Qtr (no % provided) SAT 1330
Second Qtr (no % provided) 1390 (780M)
2nd Qtr 43% 1430 (new 1510, 800M) Out of State and Aspergers
2nd Qtr 29% SAT 1330 ACT 31
2nd Qtr 31% SAT 1350 ACT 30

There were others still who received admission offers to Engineering at Galveston, which is considered full admissions, you just spend your first year at the Galveston campus and then transition to College Station after entry to a major completion.
There were not any applicants on the forum in the 40 percentile but here are some 30’s. Some in second quarter also didn’t give a %, so I am not including those.

31% SAT 1380 (730M,650R)
31% SAT 1390 (700 M, 690R) ACT 30 composite (30 Math, 27 English)
32% SAT 1360 (680M, 680 ERBW)
39% SAT 1320
32.5% SAT 1420 (760M,660ERBW) 740M SAT II

I hope that helps! Good luck! Once you apply, stay a part of the forum as everyone goes on the “review watch”. Lots of support in a nerve racking time.
