That's just the reading and math parts right? Congrats on getting her accepted. Now you've got the tough task of helping guide her to a major that will actually be able to support her upon graduation.Married an Aggie Lady said:Yeah.Naveronski said:
Congrats!
1300 used to be the line for top half of your class, I guess that changed?
95.4650% for 1380 now.

And if ~40,000 apply to A&M for 16,000 slots
and ~8000 are top 10% OR top 25% with a 1300+ SAT,
that leaves ~32,000 folks fighting for the last ~8000 slots.
Y'all see our excitement at not being in the group of ~32,000 applications for ~8000 slots now.

That is for the percentile of your graduating class, not score percentile.3rdGenAg05 said:
Can someone please clarify two things?
1) TAMU is enrolling 16k freshman next year?!
2) A 1300 math/verbal was at one point the line for top 50 percentile?...I find that very hard to believe. Top 25% even sounds low. I would've thought a 1300+ would be top 10 percentile.
My kids better hit the books instead of throwing books at each other.
A 1380 must still be way above average for TAMU. Congrats OP!

Consider: The last 2 years Blinn Teams incoming SAT average is higher than A&M's overall incoming SAT avg. Think about that. The 4th pool of students selected has a higher SAT avg than the total pool because the top 10% (and sheer numbers/volume) drags the overall incoming class avg down so much.
I was definitely in the slacker group. Very high SAT + 0 motivation got me into A&M without breaking a sweat.AgLA06 said:Lone Stranger said:

Referred as smart dumbasses (slackers) when I was in school. I've never understood why someone who scores high, but didn't care enough about school gets an advantage in admissions over those not as naturally smart, but busted their ass in school. Seems backwards (and hypocritical) to me.
