Elated for our daughter to get accepted into the Texas A&M college of engineering now this past Friday she received a letter saying effectively “we have re-evaluated” and now you must select a different major (other than engineering) and we will let you know in 2 days if you get in that college. We had paid housing deposit on time and were planning a visit and were still trying to be good parents and discuss options with her. Have never heard from anyone that such a thing could/would occur. Is this normal? To rescind a persons dreams with no new information or circumstance of any kind. Is this a bait and switch?
That is not usual to hear on this board. How disappointing and to get this information without any explanation must be very frustrating.
Have you discussed this with her GC? He/she might have some experience with this. I don’t know how TAMU usually operates, I’m in CA. Did they get her midyear grades in the meantime, I wonder? If they were lower than previous?
Make sure your admit letter said admitted to engineering and not just TAMU. And read this:

I don’t know how TAMU works, but there is a TAMU forum and they talk about ‘under review’ students so you might want to post in there.
