Automatic Transfer Admission through SB175
To be automatically admitted via SB175, the applicant must have graduated in the top 10% of his or her high school graduating class from a Texas high school not more than 4 years prior to the semester for which the student is applying. The top 10% ranking must be stated on the final high school transcript -or- the applicant must have been previously offered admission under the top 10% rule to Texas A&M University.

The applicant must also satisfy the following requirements:

1. Complete the core-curriculum at a public junior college or other public or private lower-division institution in Texas with a 2.5 GPA on a four-point scale or equivalent.
    
2. Provide a transcript noting core completion.
    
3. Expressly and clearly claim in the application that they are seeking admission under the transfer top 10% rule (SB175).
    
4. Provide all of the documents required for transfer admission to Texas A&M by the posted deadline. Transfer requirements are listed under How to Apply.

Students qualifying for transfer top 10% admission under SB175 will be admitted to Texas A&M but the choice of major is not guaranteed.
