<p>I've been a College Confidential reader for some time, but this is my first time to start a discussion.</p>
<p>Anyways, I will be a Biology major during the Fall 2014 semester at Texas A&M. Recently, I have decided to try and transfer into the Biomedical Engineering department. I talked to an advisor, and I was told that I have to have ENGL 104, MATH 151, MATH 152, CHEM 101/111, CHEM 102/112, PHYS 218 and PHYS 208 completed with a 3.5 GPA to transfer into the department.
I already have my ENGL 104 credit because I took it as a dual credit in high school.
I will be taking MATH 151 and CHEM 101/111 during my first semester at A&M.
I will then take MATH 152 and CHEM 102/112 during my second semester at A&M.
That leaves PHYS 218 and PHYS 208 as the two extra courses I would have to take. The advisor I spoke with told me to take PHYS 218 during the Spring semester instead of biology and take PHYS 208 during the summer.
I believe I am capable of completing the classes; however, the 3.5 GPA is what has me very nervous.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any tips on how to succeed in entering the engineering school at A&M? Also, any tips on keeping a high GPA? Any help or advice is appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
