Auburn or Texas A&M?

<p>For anyone that has seen any of my other posts on here, you know that i've had a very difficult time deciding on a college. For anyone that hasn't seen them, here's a little background:</p>

<p>I'm majoring in International Business with a minor in either Political Science or Finance. After I get my Bachelor's I am going to law school for my JD and LLM. I eventually want to work in International Law, with a focus on Europe and the EU. I speak fluent French along with English.</p>

<p>Basically I have been accepted to Auburn, and for Texas A&M I got offered their pathway program. This means that I would spend my first year at another A&M campus in Texas and have to maintain a 3.0 gpa in all of my classes and then the second year I would be fully admitted to the main campus.</p>

<p>The problem is, I want to join a sorority and be very involved, and I am worried starting at A&M the second year could cause problems.</p>

<p>I am aware that A&M is a much higher ranked school than Auburn and A&M was my dream school for a very long time,</p>

<p>I'm just not sure if it's a better idea to go to Auburn where I am fully accepted, or A&M where I'd have to wait a year.</p>

<p>A&M is also like $10,000+ less a year.</p>

<p>Opinions please.</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>I recommend Texas A&M because it is cheaper, and because it is your dream school.</p>

<p>Most students should not join a sorority as freshman, and many colleges prohibit doing so anyway, because it can be a major distraction to getting good grades. So, I do not see that as a problem. You should easily be able to join a sorority in your sophomore year at College Station.</p>

<p>If the only barrier to transferring to College Station is that you need a 3.0 GPA, then you should not worry much. If you can’t maintain a 3.0, then you probably will not be able to become a lawyer. Work hard, and make all A’s and B’s… and you will be at College Station next year.</p>
