Perhaps it’s because I live some distance from TX and don’t know anyone attending TX public colleges, but my first impression would not have TA&M on anyone’s “lower level” or “bad” list. I would consider it a very respectable choice for a TX resident in the same way that Penn St or Virginia Tech are respectable (in general - excellent choices for engineering).

I just looked them up. A quick google search tells me they are #74 in National Universities. Maybe I’m odd, but I don’t consider that “bad.” They’re not even close to “bad,” esp for a pre-med wannabe - even if they change their minds later.

I would expect the school to have quite a few decent opportunities for students.

Just my two cents.
