@TEXASguy2019 as long as you are in by Oct. 15 for early action, you’ll be fine, but I always go under the premise of better sooner than later.
As for Blinn Academy (Team is for non engineering students)… it’s a one year program if done as intended. You have all the benefits of being an Aggie (sports pass, parking, resources, housing, dining, etc.). The only difference is you take some classes on the Rellis campus (10 -15 minutes from TAMU campus. You would apply (ETAM) like every other engineering student at TAMU, Galveston, Academies, etc. Everyone follows the same freshman requirement.
