<p>perraziman, yes, I think engineering is different than most. While I acknowledge there are some kids that fall in that category, I certainly don’t think it’s representative of most top 10% students. I wouldn’t consider a 550 a terribly high score for someone pursuing an engineering major, especially at TAMU.</p>
<p>You can be accepted to the engineering program, but not allowed to take Calculus I, and have to start in pre-calculus. People do it all the time.</p>
<p>But I agree with you as far as TAMUs program being superior. ;)</p>
