Texas A&M does have an upperclassman quota for those that go through formal recruitment as sophomores/juniors/seniors.
True. But not all houses use it. High GPA in tandem with the letters of recommendation, etc, will increase your odds, but you have to understand the odds are against you. Keep your options open, don't go in thinking you want to be a AB or ABC and you will have a better chance.
Like the others said, hopefully you have great grades and have been involved in extracurriculars along the way so you have a good resume. Get recs for EVERY group and keep an open mind.
I say go through recruitment...you never know until you try and even if you don't get a bid, you'll make new friends along the way.

Yes, that is correct. Just because there is an upperclassman quota does not mean every chapter has to use it.

The information that I have indicates that every house but one matched to the secondary quota number in 2012. Not that this means they all will next year, nor does it mean that an upperclassman has a snowball's chance. But I think it's worth noting that UC quota was almost universally used last year.

In general, doesn't the upperclassman quota *generally* favor sophomores transferring in, especially those coming from colleges like Blinn?
