Hi,

I am a high school senior who originally applied to Mays for Finance but I got admitted into the University for Financial Planning at the college of Agriculture and Life Sciences. I originally wanted Mays but this is my option. Is it a good major to consider transferring from to get into Mays? Do the classes you take with it transfer well to Finance at Mays? Would I be better just going to Blinn since only 100 internal applicants are accepted? Should I just go to another school (Accepted at Arkansas and U of H). This is really just disappointing to me as I really thought I'd be accepted based on my Stats and I've been set on Mays for a while now. Anyone have some advice on what to do?

Do you know what you want to do with the Finance degree? May not be the answer you want, but being in the finance industry (CPA) and having kids who have been thru the admissions process in recent years, my strong advice is to go someplace where you can study what you are targeting and what will put you in the best position for a career after. So in this case, I would consider another school altogether. That's also advice I have consistently seen given by those who advise college kids for a living.

A&M is great, but there are other great options that may be a better fit for the ultimate goal here.
