Non-stress culture engineering programs?

Texas A&M can be a pressure cooker in chasing the 3.75 college GPA for automatic secondary admission to major. Below that, admission is competitive based on grades and essays.

However, if your target is electrical engineering, that is one of the less competitive majors. The competitive ones are computer engineering, computer science, biomedical engineering, and mechanical engineering. See TAMU ETAM statistics - #172 by pbleigh and following posts.
