Help me, an average student, choose

First of all, I’d like to say I’m from Texas, so I’ll give my input on the Texas school you’re thinking about.

To begin with, these people are being really pessimistic about going to a CC. It’s NOT your only option. Although I’m not sure you’ll get into A&M—only 3% of oos are admitted, and it’s more than likely that these people are in the top 5% of their class—it’s not impossible. Also, I don’t think you’ll get into Rice. You’d need at least a 31+ on the ACT and around 3.7 GPA in all likelihood, but like I said about TAMU—it’s not impossible.

If you like Texas, I’d suggest HBU (Houston Baptist University). It’s not as hard to get into, and they would probably be more willing to give you financial aid than, say, A&M.

Also, are you willing to look at in-state schools?
