Thanks for the insights. We recognize that if the student only has Physics 1 & 2 on the transcript, then no advanced placement would be happening for an engineering major (and we’re understanding of that). Having taken the material in the past (although it may not align with what is tested, so a year of intermittent prep would be needed) the thought is that to be a stronger potential engineering admit the AP Physics 1 & 2 tests shows some course rigor. It’s possible that these would be the only AP science-based tests on the transcript (ie. no Chem or Bio). Don’t know if engineering AOs would be cool with an applicant having zero STEM AP tests. Seems like it would hurt a student’s app.
