The vast majority of OOS students are academic admits http://admissions.tamu.edu/freshman/admitted. If you do not qualify for academic admit stats, then you become a review candidate. The university has rolling admissions to the university and rolling admissions to the business school - which is very popular & fills quickly. Many students apply early, later applicants sometimes do not get the opportunity to get their desired major.

The reported admission stats on search sites include not only full admits to the College Station campus, but also partial, probationary & alternate campus locations. Texans know this, others do not. IF you’re looking at the 69% acceptance rate, it is very misleading.

Your best chances are to retake the ACT/SAT to get the highest score possible, be the top 25% of your class, write your hardship into the appropriate essay, One word of advice, from OOS do not use acronyms for your listing of achievements other than HUGE organizations like FBLA , we had issues with what seems obvious organizations that just aren’t in TX school systems ( for us it was scholarship issues not admissions - mine were both academic OOS applicants). It isn’t any harder to get in from OOS, there just are not as many applicants and then OOS students who get the other options often do not continue to pursue TAMU.

If you are a review student chances of getting a full time College Station slot are actually 12%. If you’re in this category, everything counts on your application for admission. It was 50% scores & rank and 50% everything else when they published decision criteria. Chances if you are a academic admit are 100%, getting your major will be based on application date. All that counts is rank & scores. Everything else is only used for scholarship review.

Business school admits to general business then after a few courses you apply to your specific major. It seems to work out each year that those who want a specific major do get it. There are many groups to join for finance - I would highly suggest them. They often lead to wonderful internships & follow on jobs. The more national exams you take for finance, the higher your starting pay.
