Do I Have a Shot at Getting into Texas A&M's Aerospace Engineering Program?

[Angry Citizen]

Okay, some time ago I made a post here asking about my chances of getting into Texas A&M's aerospace engineering program. My situation at the time was that I was a homeschooled student with a not-so-good math ACT (25, which is 1 point above the minimum for engineers), but a lot of gen-ed courses and three math classes (I'd taken precalculus and below), all but one of which (a history class) I'd made A's in at my community college. Needless to say, I didn't get in. Here's my updated situation:

B in calculus I
A in calculus II
A in general chem I
B in calc-based physics I

And I'll be taking calc III, gen chem II, and physics II during Spring, and it's doubtful I'll get a C in any of them. Do I have a shot? Will my above-average math and science scores at the community college level get me past my standardized test scores and lack of high school?

Anyone?

*shrugs* I'm guessing nobody here is all that familiar with A&M's aerospace engineering program. Have you tried their website/admissions people/open house/etc?

Yes, what story said is right - it's really tough to make a judgement on this question, because it's so specific to one program at one school. Story's advice to contact the school is a good idea, too. Try talking to an advisor in the department, they'll probably give better advice than a general admissions counselor.

My take: I doubt your lack of high school will be a big deal, since you've been successful at the community college level.
