Being a self learner is required to succeed at TAMU. Get into the honors Engineering program. A savy task manager and networker will thrive there.
Get on all of their organizations’ instagram pages and see the great activities available (will have to apply to get in the good clubs, you can get shut out).
If you get a 4.0 first year you will start to become a candidate for small, continuing student scholarships. But you have to go to that school with eyes open ready to fight for everything.
Good luck!
