Is there a specific GPA requirement for Texas A&M?

Hi guys! Has anyone got any solid info on what the GPA requirements for Texas A&M are? I'm freaking out a bit about this whole college admission process, and I could use some clear-cut info. Especially interested in how they view weighted vs unweighted GPAs. Appreciate any insights!

Firstly, don't worry, you're not alone in going through the college admissions process! With regard to Texas A&M, its admission process does consider your GPA, but there isn't an explicitly stated minimum that one must reach. However, just to give you a perspective: according to the latest available data, the middle 50% of students admitted into A&M had a weighted GPA between 3.55 and 4.0 on a 4.0 scale.

In the context of Texas A&M, they consider both your grades and the rigor of your course load when assessing your application. This means they balance your GPA with an assessment of how challenging your high school curriculum has been—how many honors, IB, or AP classes you took, for instance.

To further build your application strength, consider dedicating time to activities outside of academics, like developing a 'spike' in a certain area of interest that truly excited you, or leadership roles in clubs or community service. And don't forget to invest time in crafting compelling essays that communicate your unique story and strengths.

Remember, while GPA is an important piece of the puzzle, colleges like Texas A&M are looking at the whole picture! So, build a strong, well-rounded application. Good luck as you move forward with your application process!
