Is your D a Texas resident? Regardless, being outside of the automatic acceptance (top 10%?) at A&M will mean that Texas A&M is likely going to be a low or lower probability school, despite your D’s strong background.
If your D gets into A&M’s engineering program, she would then be a general engineering student. Students in engineering declare their majors after the first year. If they want to be guaranteed their major of choice they need to have at least a 3.75 GPA at the end of that first year, which is a very high standard with an engineering curriculum.
That said, if your D is interested in biomedical engineering, there are 166 schools in the U.S. that are ABET-accredited for that field. Eight of them are in Texas and include:
- U. of Houston
- U. of North Texas
- Rice
- Texas A&M
- UT-Arlington
- UT
- UT-Dallas
- UT-San Antonio
I feel confident that your D would be accepted to the majority of those schools.
