Here is how to get into TAMU San Antonio, built from what its admitted class actually looks like and what the school says it weighs.

For the fall 2023 entering class, TAMU San Antonio received 7,773 applications and admitted 7,151, an acceptance rate of 92%. 1,025 enrolled. Only about 14% of admitted students enrolled, so the school admits several students for every seat it expects to fill, which is why its acceptance rate reads higher than its selectivity feels. TAMU San Antonio enrolls about 6,599 undergraduates in total, 63% of them women, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 18 to 1.

The middle 50% of admitted students at TAMU San Antonio scored between 840 and 1070 on the SAT (average 955). On the ACT the middle 50% runs from 15 to 21. A score above 1070 puts you in the top quarter of admits and turns the test into an asset; a score below 840 puts you in the bottom quarter, where the rest of the application has to carry more weight. TAMU San Antonio is test-optional: scores are considered if you submit them but not required. Send a score at or above the middle of the admitted range; otherwise apply without one and let your transcript lead.

Acceptance rate, application counts, admitted test ranges, cost, and outcomes reflect publicly reported federal data (U.S. Department of Education: IPEDS 2023 and the College Scorecard) and each school's Common Data Set; figures are rounded and lag the current cycle by one to two years, so confirm deadlines and policies on the school's own site. The typical-admit GPA and SAT are CollegeCalcAI's modeled estimates. Estimates from CollegeCalcAI are a planning tool computed by a fixed, transparent model, not a guarantee of any admission decision.
