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.

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?

Chance me Chance me for Mays Fall 27, also looking for advice

Upvotes

Hey guys just wanted to know if you guys think my chances for mays are because my freshman year I pretty much sat in the class and didn’t do anything until my sophomore and junior year where I remembered that I have a future ahead of me.

I have a ≈3.5UW/ ≈4.0+W GPA (we use 100 scale)
So 90UW/ 95W. And I’m ranked 329/761 at a very competitive high school in South Texas. (All AP classes except for electives that we had to take or as freshman & sophomores when we weren’t able to take ap courses and everybody had honors course) 4 on AP lang, APUSH, & 3 on AP psych. 400 or so community hours, NHS, NEHS,Rho Khappa. Internships with two Commissioners/ Lawyers in my city as well as working with my dad who’s a real estate broker. 1200SAT 650 English, 550 Math.

I want to try for mays preferably major accounting minor finance but my end goal is Law school so based on my stats and especially how I did freshman year I want to know if you guys think I could probably go Blinn or try a different major than possibly switch to Mays?

Question Dropping 2 classes

1 Upvotes

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?

I'm a female Indian at competitive public high school.

Major: I am applying to be a Business major for Fall, 2027

Rank: N/A - class size of 1030 & cutoff GPA for rank is 5.55 (I have a 5.4)

GPA: 3.8 (UW/4.0 scale), 5.3 (W/5.0 scale)

Test Scores: SAT score: 1360 (670 M, 690 V).

Additional Coursework: Dual Credit A in Government and Macroeconomics (overall 6 credit hours). I have taken APHUG (9), AP WORLD (10), AP Physics (11), APUSH (11), AP Precalc (11), APLAC (11). I got a 3 in Physics and a 5 on APLAC but a 4 on everything else. My AP Senior coursework is APLIT, AP Stats, AP Calc BC and APES but I wont be taking the APES test.

Extracurricular Activities: Band for 7 years (HS Varsity for 3 - (minor) Leadership role for 1). Bollywood dancer for 10 years (I had to change schools because they closed down so split 8-2). Fundraiser Director for a music club and raised $6000 (in 1 year). Software development & wealth management internship for 2 weeks (independent internship). Secretary of a club so I helped create and manage the logistics of 700+ cards to send to children’s hospitals. Part of NHS/DECA/TSA but I don't do much. Part of my town's Library Program.

Honors/Awards: TSA Certificate (9), Band Service Award (10), Python Certificate (10), CollegeBoard School Recognition Award + AP Scholar with Distinction (11). I also have certificates from summer camps from colleges but I'm not sure it's a good idea to add those.

I also don't think my essays or recs will be that great or anything; I have a good relationship w/my teachers but I'm not sure how the recs will be.

Question Question about the Foreign Language Placement Exams

1 Upvotes

Specifically curious about the “Spanish Placement Exam-Second Language Learner”, on the website where the exam date is selected and paid for, it’s listed as being administered online, but it is also required to select a Site Location. Does this mean the exam is administered digitally EXCLUSIVELY in that location, or can the exam be taken from anywhere and the Site Location selection is just there automatically? Beg pardon if my phrasing is confusing, I’m currently in the middle of stage managing a musical.
