<p>Ok,</p>
<p>Backstory just so you understand my situation. I graduated 2004 in top 5 percent of my high school class, 1400 on SAT, solid grades and EC and went off to A&M (Mays). Didn't transition well to college at all, and did poorly solely do to skipping class. Made 2 D's and 2 F's semester one, was put on academic probation for the spring but fell into a similar rut, so I withdrew.</p>
<p>I attempted to get back into school the next year, but I blew class off again so tally up two more F's.</p>
<p>Fast forward 4 years to now, and I am back at community college full time and thriving (I was always capable of doing so, I just needed to grow as a person and get serious). Since re-enrolling I have a 4.0 over 19 hours and project myself maintaining this pattern for the foreseeable future. My dilemma is in figuring out just where I would like to transfer to.</p>
<p>I am a Dallas resident, and although not opposed to going out of state, have been looking at primarily schools here in Texas. At the moment, my target is a Business degree, specifically Management Information Systems. I've been in contact with both UT and A&M, and getting into either of those as a business student really isn't realistic at this point for me. SMU and TCU are both doable, but come along with a hefty tuition that may or may not be worth it. From there I've been looking at UT Dallas, but I don't know if I should aim higher.</p>
<p>That said, I am looking for some feedback on what course people think would net the best results for my future. Should I apply to a less competitive school at UT/A&M (transfer of credits being a non-issue)? My interests in descending order: MIS, Information Technology, Computer Programming, Psychology, Nutrition. Would it make more sense to take on the cost of a private college with a solid track record (loans would be required)? Or should I simply settle for a smaller school for my undergrad and secure an MBA at a more respected location?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
