You should consider Texas A&M Galveston. It would not be a transfer but a change of Major. Galveston is the only campus in the A&M system that is not an afilliated college but rather an extension of the College Station campus. However, here is the good part: They have separate admissions and the standards are not as tough as College Station. Here is the best part: You would not transfer from Galveston but rather change curriculum. As long as the school that you son wants to get into will accept him all he has to do is change majors after two full semesters at Gaveston (TAMUG). This is a great option as the students are considered full Aggies, get to go to sports events, and have all of the traditions of the main campus. TAMUG is small, about 2000 students. It is a great way to start. Just a thought and good luck.
