@S18D20mom Major is irrelevant for admissions to A&M. They will go by her stats and if accepted, will place her in the desired major.
If she is not a top 10% admit or academic admit, being a review applicant, she has a very little chance of being admitted. Mays will be a no, unless she is from one of the targeted Century Scholars high schools. Typically, only academic admits and Auto admits get into Mays. This year, we saw a few review admits accepted in Mays but they were high scoring kids from the above high schools or unrepresented minorities/school districts. Mays for her should be considered a big reach, based on how difficult it is for any review applicant to secure a spot in any major.

I can vouch for TXST as my eldest will graduate from McCoy’s in May. It has been a great experience for him and he loves San Marcos. OK State is also a wonderful school and has a ton of school spirit and having a Big 12 team is a draw for many. It IS more expensive, even with a full out of state tuition waiver. The meal plans are a lot more expensive but they also allow you to buy groceries at designated convenience stores around campus. SFA is also a great school. My brother was a professor there for over 15 years. She needs to visit the campus and spend some time there. Some love it and it is too remote for others. It is beautiful but one must go to Lufkin for a lot that we take for granted where we live. It is totally doable, but it just depends on her willingness to acclimate to that.
