I think that what they are saying @Pololive5 is that most of the admits to the engineering program at TAMU are significantly higher than those scores. Not that your scores are only up to CC standards. But they are not up to TAMU admissions standards. To put it in perspective - University of Houston posts requirements for engineering that are more than the university’s admission standards. Even with a top 25% ranking - your SAT scores are below Houston’s engineering requirements.
Class Rank
Top 25% SAT 1270 and 630 or ACT 27/54 (English and reading combined)
26—50% SAT 1320 and 630 or ACT 28/54
51—75% SAT 1400 and 630 or ACT 31/54
All Others SAT 1420 and 630 or ACT 32/54
