How selective is the Texas A&M College Station General Engineering program?

Hi, @cool1bdp 's son here . If I choose to attend GT, the plan would be to transfer to a CS major in my second year, which I’ve heard is fairly simple.

I wonder if you could expand more on the chemistry classes? Do you know what exactly is taught in CHEM 107 and 117? Although I got an A* in chem IGCSE, I honestly struggled immensely and despised it. And I’m not looking forward having to attend chem classes again, should I choose A&M.

A second question: is it possible, and if so, advisable to carry over some classes from the first sem to second sem? Based on the table you linked earlier, (https://catalog.tamu.edu/undergraduate/engineering/computer-science/bs/#programrequirementstext) I’d be taking 16 hours in each sem by default but if I carry over a class to my second sem wouldn’t that be a heavier burden? What benefit is that then? I’m not too familiar with this credit hours system, so I’m not sure if I’m phrasing the question right.
