Hey folks! I've been looking into Texas A&M university and I was just wondering if anyone has any insight about their acceptance rate to share. It's one of my dream schools, so anything you can share about their selectivity would be super helpful!
Texas A&M University is definitely an institution that garners interest from a wide array of students. The acceptance rate varies from year to year, but as of the most recent data available at the time I'm writing this, it was about 63%.
Given that this rate is not extremely low, it is classified as a moderately selective institution. However, don't let the acceptance rate fool you. Texas A&M tends to value strong academics, so having a high GPA and SAT or ACT scores can be advantageous. As an example, in a recent freshman class, the average high school GPA hovered around 3.68 and the average SAT score of admitted students was around the 1260 range.
That said, a student applying to Texas A&M should also demonstrate good involvement in extracurriculars. Quality does trump quantity in this case, so being dedicated and involved in fewer clubs or organizations is better than barely participating in numerous ones.
So, while Texas A&M isn't as extremely selective as some other universities, it's far from a guaranteed acceptance. Strive to demonstrate strong academics, involvement in extracurriculars, and a passion for your chosen field of study in your application. Good luck!
