I graduated from A&M back in 98, and now I have a son who is starting high school this year and is already set on going to A&M for college. It's still a ways away, and who knows, maybe he'll change his mind, but for now he's all set on being an Aggie.
That being said, he has a clean slate right now. For those of you who have a son or daughter who have recently gone through the process, what would your advice be for putting my son in the best position possible for admission? I know top 10% is important, and he might be able to get there, but I'm not sure. Outside of making the best possible grades and ACT/SAT score, what other things should he focus on? Sports, service opportunities, etc.
I can't believe we're here already at this point, and I just want to help him as much as I can.
Thanks!
