Hows it going guys, I have a very hard decision to make and I was wondering if you guys could help. I got accepted into UT’s General Studies program about a month ago, I started making preparations, financial aid, etc. to go there. Texas A&M had actually rejected me at first, but said they might reconsider if they saw my spring grades. They really took their sweet time with it but I finally got an admission packet from them today. I got accepted directly into their Computer Engineering program! My ultimate goal is to get into Computer Engineering at UT and the plan was to transfer from General Studies into the engineering department at UT but I’ve heard it gets really competitive to get in. I also know UT is ranked higher than A&M but rankings arent everything. What do you guys think? Finances are a non-issue to me (thanks GI Bill!!!), so in the end, General Studies at UT then transfer to engineering, or go to Texas A&M already admitted to engineering?
