I don’t think lack of AP chem by itself is going to hold this kid back from engineering admissions. He has lots of other STEM rigor, and a whopping 14 AP classes, including physics C and calc BC. I’m not sure about other schools, but Purdue admits tons of students to engineering who haven’t taken AP chem. He wants to dig into some higher level physics and math and that will actually stand out to admissions. I doubt anyone is going to care that he didn’t take AP chem.
