Applying for an Engineering Physics Major without AP Physics

<p>You usually don’t go directly into a major like engineering (even engineering physics), even if you are accepted into the university or into the university’s college of engineering. Typically you are a “pre-major” of some kind or another, taking a year of calculus and some other prelims. For you this would be a good place to either start the calc-based physics sequence or take a simpler survey class to learn the basics of force, momentum, electrostatic charges, gravity, etc., without using any calc or trig.</p>

<p>Both of those are top-tier schools and are very hard to get into, especially Berkely where just about every STEM major is impacted. So even with full physics AP under your belt you may not get accepted into those programs, so don’t feel bad. Try anyway.</p>
