<p>I know that the gateway program is during the summer and you take 7 credit hours and need to obtain a minimum of a 2.0 while blinn team is during the year.</p>
<p>I was wondering, what is the difference between the students offered blinn team and summer gateway?</p>
<p>Also, what makes the admissions officers want to offer one student blinn team and another summer gateway?</p>
<p>Are there specific requirements for either of them?</p>
<p>Gateway is spending about a month or so at Texas A&M, and just A&M (no Blinn). If you get that 2.0 average, you get fully admitted to A&M for the Fall semester. The downside is if you don’t get that 2.0, you don’t have any colleges/university to attend because most colleges require to respond to them by June or July if you’re attending.</p>
<p>What do you think makes the counselors pit a student in the gateway program instead of blinn team or vice versa?</p>
<p>@armina:</p>
<p>Sounds like Gateway is a more direct path? Maybe call the admissions office for more information.</p>
<p>gateway sounds like a better option. if you can’t make the 2.0, you don’t belong there anyway.</p>
<p>and, IMO, summer school is easy compared to regular semester school.</p>
