Hi! I've been looking into Texas A&M and I heard they have some sort of auto admission policy. Does anyone know the specific criteria for that, like class rank and/or test scores? Thanks!
Hi! Yes, Texas A&M does have an automatic admission policy, but it's only for Texas residents. To qualify for automatic admission, you must:
1. Be a Texas resident.
2. Graduate within the top 10% of your class from an accredited Texas high school.
3. Apply for admission before December 1st of your senior year.
4. Complete the Recommended High School Curriculum, which includes four years of English, math, science, and social studies, as well as two years of a foreign language.
If you meet all these criteria, you are guaranteed admission to Texas A&M University. However, it's important to note that auto-admission doesn't guarantee placement in your preferred major. The University will still review other factors like test scores (if applicable), extracurricular involvement, and essays for competitive programs and scholarships.
Additionally, if you don't qualify for automatic admission, you can still be considered for regular admission, where the University takes a more holistic approach in reviewing applications.
Good luck with your application, and I hope this helps!
