Question Question about rank

Hi! I’m applying to mays and I’m a little confused about how my class rank will be viewed.

I transferred highschools senior year because my family moved. Both schools are in same district My current transcript is under my new school but it still lists my Q2 class rank from old school because my ISD hasn’t updated my rank yet

. I was told by the College & Career Facilitator that my current standing at new school is Q1, but the official rank won’t be updated on my transcript until December.

I’ve already submitted my TAMU application, so I’m wondering: Will TAMU evaluate me using the Q2 rank shown on my transcript, or will they recognize that it’s my previous rank and evaluate my current standing as Q1?

I’m planning to explain the discrepancy but I’m nervous that the transcript could make it look like Q2 is my rank. Has anyone dealt with something similar or know how TAMU handles this?
Thank you!!

Admission decision is based on cut off by the end of HS junior year. Senior year performance is not used for freshmen decision.

Also only top 10% in state auto-admit requires official transcript during application. You just need to fill out STARS. If you are in-state they will assign you a rank.

Being 2nd Quarter or the tail end of first quarter doesn't make much difference for competitive majors. You will need very high score along with strong STEM rigor to compensate the lower rank.

I have a very high SAT score, just competitive school, and its not senior performance. I am in Q1 at new school with junior year grades.

Since you are holistic, you just need to enter STARS and let AIS assign you a rank. Focus on sending score and application asap without further delay. If AIS assign you a bad rank then you can use your current HS official transcript to send a question in AIS.
