<p>Texas A&M gave me a pretty crappy offer. They gave me nothing but federally supported things like a pell grant, loans, and work study. So of the 36k COA I still had 18k that their offer didn’t cover and their offer was mainly loans.</p>
<p>Granted though, I am an OOS student with solid SATs/GPA but nothing incredibly spectacular like a merit finalist. The only thing I had goin for me was that I am from a “pre-engineering” program. So I am an OOS student with average scores for an engineering major… I can see that they have no incentive to bring me in. :(</p>
