Who can attend?
All attending cadets must be either a senior or junior in high school. As mentioned in the previous section, all participants must be actively involved in JROTC, CAP, Young Marines or Sea Cadets. Additionally, all participants must be cleared to attend the program by their Senior Instructor (or equivalent).
Juniors may attend if they meet the following requirements:
- Top ¼ of their class
- 1050 SAT or 105 PSAT (combination of math/critical reading sections only)
Note: Juniors who do not meet attendance requirements should consider attending ‘Spend the Night with the Corps!’ during their junior year and then apply for JCAP during their senior year. More on ‘Spend the Night’: http://aggiecorps.tamu.edu/programs/stn/
Four ways seniors can meet attendance requirements (must meet any one of the four):
- Be in the Top 10% of their class
- Be considered an 'Academic Admit'
-- Top quarter of class and either a minimum 1300 SAT (at least 600 on both critical reading and math components) or 30 ACT (minimum 27 in ACT English and ACT Math) - Top quarter of class and either a minimum 1050 SAT (combination of math/critical reading sections only) or 23 ACT
- Top half of class and either a minimum 1150 SAT (combination of math/critical reading sections only) or 25 ACT
NOTE: IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS, SENIORS MUST ALSO HAVE FULLY APPLIED TO TEXAS A&M IN ORDER TO ATTEND THE SPRING JCAP EVENT
These are program minimums. These scores do not guarantee admission to TAMU. Space is limited. Those wishing to participate in the program should apply early.
