Alright, here's the lowdown: I've been seriously considering Texas A&M for my undergrad. I would love to hear from people who have experience applying there. What was your GPA when you got accepted? Any insight helps!
According to recent data, the average GPA of accepted students at Texas A&M is around 3.7. This average represents both weighted and unweighted GPAs. It's important to note that Texas A&M does consider your course rigor - taking challenging AP and honors courses can contribute to a college application, even if they slightly lower your GPA.
Keep in mind that while a strong academic record is critical, Texas A&M also considers other factors in their admissions. This may include your extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and your essays. For example, demonstrating deep involvement in a few activities or having a significant leadership role can distinguish your application.
That said, you might worry less about trying to hit a specific GPA and focus instead on maintaining a strong academic performance in the most challenging coursework available to you, coupled with meaningful participation in a few extracurricular activities. It's about balance and showing them the unique person behind the grades.
