Below is a discussion from Feb 2020

Engineering Academies (option for those not admitted to TAMU)

My son just completed the engineering academy in Brenham. This is a great option for those students not admitted or not offered Blinn Academy Bryan. IMO it is better than Galveston. Here is a link to the discussion thread for those wanting to be Aggie engineers and looking for alternative ways to accomplish that goal. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/texas-m-university/2062343-engineering-academies-p1.html

Engineering Academies

New thread for those exploring or attending any of the engineering academies. We are headed to Brenham for the Blinn Preview Day and a session on the academy. My son has already applied and been accepted by Blinn (he received PSA from TAMU). He must now apply to A&M through a web portal that Blinn gives you once they have accepted you. I have been told by a Blinn conselor that TAMU engineering looks primarily for math readiness. My son scored a 30 on the math portion of his ACT and we where told that he would have a 99.99999% chance of getting accepted. Only 45 minutes form CS and you are co-enrolled and have access to sport passes and can even play intramural sports at TAMU if you want to make the drive. They cap enrollment at 100 and are opening a new dorm for the fall that all the academy students will be assigned. About to hit the road. Look forward to more discussions! https://engineering.tamu.edu/academies.html
