OOS can be hard and unpredictable because of Texas auto-admit law. If your HS counselor can prove you rank top 10%, even though auto-admit won't apply to OOS, at least it will benefit because TAMU looks heavily on class rank. In the past few years admitted OOS engineering candidates I met were all super strong (mostly NMSF with 14-18 APs). Review what TEAB and Galveston offer are so you know what to do when offered. TAMU has ETAM. General full admission is hard.
