Hey everyone, does anyone know what the average SAT scores are for A&M University? Has anyone got admitted with low SAT scores? I'm really stressing a little cause I don't know if my score is gonna make the cut. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!
Response:
Sure, happy to help out! You're referring to Texas A&M University, right? Texas A & M University is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that submitting SAT or ACT scores is not required, and you can choose whether or not to include your test scores in your application. However, some say that submitting scores is strongly encouraged. Applicants that score between 1160 and 1370 on the SAT are considered strong candidates for admission.
It's also important to keep in mind that while scores do hold significance in the admissions process, Texas A&M, like many universities, practices a holistic review process. This means the entirety of your application - your GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, recommendation letters (if you have any), and more - will also play a large role in their decision-making.
Additionally, given the shift to a fully digital SAT as of spring 2024, they might be increasingly flexible about scores as students and institutions adjust to this format. So don't stress too much about your score alone - aim to present a well-rounded application highlighting other strengths as well.
Hope this clears things up a bit! Remember to prepare for any upcoming tests and focus on building a strong application overall. Best of luck with your applications!
