Xcellerator - I can't go from A&M to TCU. Too much money if I don't have scholarship. But isn't it pretty hard to transfer to A&M? I've heard that like 75 people are able to transfer. So what kind of GPA would it take to transfer? 3.8?
For just the business school as an exteral transfer, yes. When I transferred to A&M, my GPA was above a 3.8 and the guy who made the decisions told me over the phone that typically you had to have at least a 3.75 to 3.8 overall and all of the core business classes except for management to take one of the top 75 spots. I decided against it because I just didn't care for the environment of Mays and how secluded it is on campus.

You could transfer into general studies, and if you get at least a 3.0 or 3.5 (I forgot what exactly) on 30 hours at A&M, you can change your major to business. I wouldn't put all your eggs in this basket, though.

But I am scared that TCU is too focused on fraternity life.
It pretty much is. You can meet plenty of people in dorms or whatever, but the social scene is still predominantly Greek.

To be honest with you, based on what you have said so far, I don't think either school is the right choice for you. If you already have a bad feeling about both, then find another school. It's not magically going to get any better for you.
