Since it is a brand new program, there will only be about 250 TEAB students this fall. They plan to expand it in the future, but will start small.
The big advantage it gives students is the ability to take the Engineering courses they need to make an ultimate transition into the COE. As parnecr mentioned, there is never a guarantee, but this program will position students perfectly to make a successful transition.
I'm glad to hear y'all are weighing the options. As I've mentioned on the main admissions thread, I encourage you to ask your students what's more important, being an Engineer or being an Aggie?
Let me know if I can be of further assistance!
