My kid is a junior in high school and is interested in engineering. What are the class ranks and SAT/ACT scores that kids are being admitted to A&M for engineering?

I know that there are different programs for engineering but for the students given admissions into the actual engineering school in College Station how do their scores and ranks line up?

Most likely they are going to be first quarter. Test scores have been optional due to the impact of the virus.

All Engineering applicants go through a holistic review. Admissions will evaluate class rank (not specifically GPA), test scores (if sent) and everything else submitted with rhe application - outside activities, leadership, employment, the essays, etc. So there are many different factors involved.

Some numbers on admitted freshmen can be seen at https://web-as.tamu.edu/ecardimages/2018/EAST/freshmen-bythe-numbers.pdf

Your child can call an admissions counselor at 979-458-0950 on January 4 or thereafter to discuss it further if they wish.

What if high school doesn't give out class rank?

I started a thread today hoping to get your feedback. We live in Blue Valley School District n Overland Park, KS. BVSD is highly rated, but starting this year they no longer give out class rank.

In instances where a high school does not rank, A&M will assign a rank after processing of the other required documents.

Are you seeing this more and more?

Asking because I'm wondering if this is a lost battle? I know how kids respond to competition and I can't imagine no rankings. Seems to me this is simply a way to be more subjective.

More and more high schools are deciding not to rank their students.

I'm trying to figure out how many Out of State applicants were admitted as Full Admits (full time main campus) versus other pathways like Blinn Team/Engineer Academies/etc. for 2019 or 2020.

When I go through the metrics I assume the numbers are related to:
College Station
College of Engineering
Department of Engineering
First Time at Level
Undergraduate

Student Enrollment Demographics dashboard can tell me main campus vs Blinn by clicking Full-Time vs Part-Time (but this only gives you where they ended up as enrolled... not admitted)

Geographic Applied, Admitted, Enrolled dashboard doesn't break out Blinn

Applied, Admitted, Enrolled dashboard doesn't break out Blinn

Any help?

@TAMUAdmissions any update on a timeline for engineering review decisions? Starting to get into crunch time for housing at other schools for backups.

DARS keeps the detailed numbers that A&M shares at https://dars.tamu.edu/Data-and-Reports/Student
You also can call an admissions counselor at 979-458-0950.

Review decisions are ongoing. They are released as soon as decisions are made. We have not been given a more specific timeline.

"Wholistic review"
Is that simply the subjective opinion of the people reading the essays?

Can you give a real answer?
What is the average and media of SAT scores admitted?

Pg 4 has a table for engineering.
