@S18D20mom : Not a Business mom here, but all of those alternate majors with a Business minor sound like a good plan to me. I would recommend any degree at TAMU if at all possible, whatever she feels best suits her interests/goals/abilities. Have her look at the degree plan for each of those majors and see which fits. And there is always a possibly that something else might catch her attention once she gets to college. I wish that colleges didn’t force kids onto a particular Major track so early.

Mays fills up very early with Auto and Academic admits, based on what we have seen on CC for the past few years. Trying to get into Mays beyond an entering Freshman is even more difficult. This past year was particularly brutal across the board for all majors. Makes me glad that I don’t have any more children, can’t imagine what it will be like when my future grand kids are applying to college!

If TAMU doesn’t work out for her, would your daughter consider adding the Bauer Business School at UH to her list instead of going out of state? It is a great business school and I would think that a degree from there would be more valuable than from TX State or SFA. I personally know of a highly paid CFO who graduated from UH in the 80’s. Lots of internship and job possibilities with UH.
