UT Austin or TAMU

[garyphan3]

Hello everyone, I am going to be a sophomore at UTSA. Initially, I was granted the CAP program but due to my mother being laid off in early June, I am unable to attend UT Austin this coming fall because the changes to my FAFSA did not kick in until after the deadline to accept my admittance. I really had my heart set on UT and the courses I have already taken at UTSA all transfer there which is great. I was planning on transferring from UTSA to UT Austin or Texas A&M and I am unsure of what I should do. If I transfer to UT Austin (granted my FAFSA stays the same) I will be able to finance myself at UT. If I transfer to A&M, some courses are not direct equivalent transfers which would delay me getting into my major but it would be MUCH MUCH cheaper for me to attend TAMU as I live in the area. Should I find a major that I can get into at TAMU and transfer there in the spring of 2016 and eventually transfer into my desired major? Or should I apply to UT Austin in the spring and go there instead. For anyone curious, I am wanting to major in public health. I would really LOVE to transfer in the spring as I am not entirely too content where I am right now.
