Dwight Look College of Engineering A&M at Galveston

My son applied to Texas A&M College Station but he was admitted (instead) to the Dwight Look College of Engineering A&M at Galveston. What is his chances to be transferred to College Station next year?

You have to maintain a 3.5 GPA in order to automatically transfer. That may be difficult to achieve for a first year student in any engineering discipline.
