He Decided not to apply OOS engineering due to such great engineering programs in Texas
I am an Aggie Civil Engineer and I have to say from what I have read, I am concerned about this whole “Entry to Major” process. He is an academic admit for TAMU. TTU is looking good with the Presidential Scholarship and the small Honors Classes for the weed out courses. Makes me sad because I have such fond memories of TAMU and would like the same experience for him - plus TAMU is closer and I am worried enough as it is because he is a Type I diabetic. Right now is leaning TTU due to the uncertainty of getting his major of choice and I certainly understand.
