Undergraduate Application Process
Due to the continued increase of competitive applications, the Texas A&M University College of Engineering has moved to a total holistic review process. This policy applies to all engineering applications, including Texas A&M automatic admits, and is handled entirely by the Office of Admissions — not the College of Engineering.
Factors that are considered during the review process include the following:
- Academic achievements — class rank and SAT and/or ACT scores, as well as completion of Texas A&M's recommended high school coursework . NOTE: Submission of SAT/ACT scores is optional for students applying for the spring and fall 2023 semesters.
- Personal achievements — involvement in extracurricular activities, community service, leadership, employment and summer activities, as well as any talents, awards and honors.
- Information shared in the Essay and Short Answer Questions on the application.
- Note: The Engineering Essay/Short Answer Question is no longer part of the freshman application effective August 1, 2024.
Engineering applicants will be considered for the following programs:
- General Engineering at College Station
- Texas A&M Engineering at Blinn (general deadline only)
- Engineering at Galveston (general deadline only)
- Engineering at McAllen
Admission to Texas A&M University will continue to be achieved in one of two ways — top 10% admits or holistic review admits — and admission decisions will continue to be communicated on a rolling basis.
