well you'll be a traitor if you don't pick A&M. JK either one is fine but A&M it's the one school I wanted to get into but couldn't. there is one thing you might consider. take all your core classes like math, science, english, history, etc. at Blinn College's Bryan Campus it's cheaper lots of A&M students do this. Oh if you have never been here for a football, basketball, baseball game please go to A&M Fish Camp they will tell you the ins and outs of Texas A&M and student life. One thing I can tell you is that if you decide to come to A&M please don't walk on the grass at the MSC, do not be loud, and do not wear hats indoors at the MSC which stands for Memorial Student Center. The grass is living memorial so dont walk on it. Plus the Bonfire Memorial near the Polo fields where 12 students died in the 1999 collapse just be respectful.

Thank you for the advice! I did not know about the Blinn College loophole, so that's great to know. I have actually been to Texas A&M, last month(my first time going to Texas, I'm a Californian) for what they call "Aggieland Saturday," an event where I got to learn the ins and outs of the University. Most importantly, I got to experience the social atmosphere, or "vibe," of Texas A&M, and let me tell you, Texas A&M passed the vibe check. Thank you for your information about the MSC. I don't want to be a know-it-all, but I did research the University beforehand so I was well aware of the important traditions at Texas A&M and promptly removed my hat before entering each time, which impressed my tour guide. I love a University that honors its traditions. Baylor I have not had the opportunity to visit and experience the vibe, so right now, Texas A&M is the favorite.

Congratulations and good luck in your exams in future. :)

Decide on a Major (or Double Majors) and choose the best University for your Major (Or Majors).

Thank you for the advice! I am considering double-majoring in political science and economics. What I want to be is a doctor. Most people laugh when I tell them I want to be a doctor with those degrees, but my sister(who is a doctor) said it's a good idea because everyone comes at the medical school with a science degree like biology or chemistry. Knowing that I want to major in PS/Economics and want to be a doctor, which University is preferable?
