Overall, Texas A&M is a better school than is ASU, My son will study Aerospace Engineering, which is top-notch. However, I rate the honors program as good, not great. Typically, only first-year students at A&M can live in the Honors dormitories.



I don’t think this is true, beaudreau, unless things have changed very recently, and I don’t think they have. At TAMU, Clements is an honors dorm for upperclassmen. My son lived in Clements for his sophomore year and enjoyed it.

I would think your son would be accepted into TAMU’s honors program, gobluemom85, but of course, nobody here can really answer that question with any sort of certainty. His stats are good and, from what you post, he sounds like the type of student that is often selected for honors.

Best of luck to you!
