Direct major admit vs. Taking a risk in engineering

On a side note, the General Admit school (TAMU), has already amended their engineering admissions some to give kids more assurance that they can get into their choice of major if they meet a minimum GPA requirement.

However, TAMU’s guaranteed-admission-to-engineering-major GPA is 3.5, which is quite high, and higher than at some other schools with a similar system (e.g. Virginia Tech 3.0, Minnesota 3.2).
