<p>Well, I'm now accepted. Off the waitlist obviously. I also have the Blinn Team option. They told me I had a good chance to transfer out of Blinn in a year, with summer classes. Half-tuition. Very tempting.
The scholarships I got aren't much. Too hard to get substantial ones.
Has anyone been accepted to the Blinn Team yet, I feel like I'm the only one.
So should I risk Blinn or go straight in to A&M? </p>
<p>I'm not going to base my decision based solely off your advice. I just want to know what you guys would do in my situation</p>
<p>Could you clarify your reasoning? I guess I don’t understand why it would even be a consideration to go to Blinn if you can go right into A&M. If your goal is to go to A&M, why would you consider not taking the direct route that is available to you? Is cost an issue?</p>
<p>Yes it is. My sister graduated a year ago. She got her masters in marketing. My brother will be a senior in two years and is on top of his class and most likely going to an ivy college or Rice. So, my parents and I are exploring if I should just get two years half-tuition and have some classes at Blinn.</p>
<p>Do you live in the Bryan/College Station area? If you don’t and have to get an apartment plus pay all the living expenses, the cost savings would not be that great.<br>
If you were my child, I would tell you to go to A&M freshman year.</p>
<p>I would say go to A&M! If you do Blinn TEAM and for some reason don’t make your grades, there is not a guarantee they’ll let you continue at A&M after the 2 years of Blinn TEAM! Congrats on getting in!!</p>
