I agree with pns3456. Call the Prospective Student Center and ask about TAMUG. There are several threads on this site re: TAMUG as well. My son did Spend the Day with the Corps last summer. The staff there recommended going to TAMUG if not admitted to TAMU. I think the requirements to change curriculum are 27 hours and a 2.5 GPA, depending on the major you want to change to.

Another option to consider if not admitted to TAMU is Blinn TEAM. You have to apply to TAMU and be offered Blinn TEAM. That’s a dual enrollment program between TAMU and Blinn College. It guarantees full admission after 45 hrs at Blinn and 15 hrs at TAMU with a 3.0 GPA.

My son was offered TAMUG and Blinn TEAM. He decided to do Blinn TEAM and join the Corps of Cadets. Both are great options!!!
