Had top tierDec 22 2011Zoology
Had top tier grades at a highly ranked high school. I chose to come to Texas Tech and felt like I was horribly mistreated by most of my professors. It's not a matter of getting in, because you will, it's a matter of what happens when you get here. For that I warn you to stay away, and save you the unfair treatment and pain it's caused this honor student...

Only two public universities in Texas offer an undergraduateMay 06 2010Other
Only two public universities in Texas offer an undergraduate landscape architecture program: Texas A&M and Texas Tech. Both are agricultural schools, so take your pick.

I transferred from community college (the best thing to do if you are undecided on a major after graduating HS), and had no trouble getting in. The minimum GPA for transfers I think is 2.0 or 2.5. You don't have to be smart to come here, trust me! As long as you have the money or access to it, and you didn't flunk out of another college you should be able get in.
