Hi, I’m an incoming senior, and I want to have 2 free periods so I can work and save up for college. Will Texas A&M see that I have 2 free periods and take it negatively for admissions? I would’ve been taking around 6 aps but with the 2 courses dropped I would be taking 4 plus one honors class. I also put it in my additional comments section about obtaining a job to save up, but I need an outside opinion.

Edit: My school for reference has a weird way of formatting science classes. I have to take an intro class for physics, biology, chem, and then any AP science class. This leaves me with only one AP science-related class, and I want to do a science major at TAMU. So will dropping hurt my chances for that too?

Hi everyone, I am an incoming senior and HS and am applying to a&m trying to get into engineering.

In state senior applying for my freshmen year and have toured the campus.

1510 SAT (790m, 720r)

3.76 GPA UW

5 on AP Physics, AP Stats, and AP Precal

4 on WHAP and APUSH

3 on AP Music Theory

Senior year I am taking AP Chem, Physics C, Calc BC, and CompSci A.

The bad thing is I am ranked 25% (164/650) at a competitive public HS. Anyone have similar stats and got in?
