Howdy, folks! I'm planning on applying to Texas A&M for the next fall semester. Can anyone help me out with some information on the SAT score requirements for admissions there? I want to know what they're looking for so I can properly prepare. Thanks, y'all!
Howdy! Texas A&M is a fantastic school, and I'm glad you're interested in applying. While there is no specific "SAT score requirement" for Texas A&M, it's important to have a competitive score to improve your chances of admission. To give you an idea of the general range of SAT scores for admitted students, let's look at the middle 50% SAT scores for the recently admitted class:
- Composite: 1150-1370
- Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 570-680
- Math: 570-700
These scores indicate that 50% of the admitted students had SAT scores within these ranges. Keep in mind that 25% of admitted students did score below these ranges, but the higher your scores are within or above these percentiles, the better your chances.
Preparing for the SAT will be essential in achieving a competitive score. Take advantage of online resources, practice tests, and study materials to help you prepare. Remember though, Texas A&M also evaluates applicants holistically, which means they carefully consider other factors such as your high school GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and other application components. All of these elements contribute to your overall application, and a strong application in other areas can make up for a less competitive SAT score.
Good luck with your application to Texas A&M, and I hope this information helps you!
