Glad to help…let me know if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to answer or point you in the right direction.
Since your daughter is interested in the same major as my son, I can probably answer a lot of your questions. Feel free to pm me if you want.
FYI, I have one comment about the AP Chem…all engineering students have to take Chemistry for Engineers. Not a huge deal, but more challenging than taking Chem AP exam. So, if there is still an opportunity that your daughter can add it to her schedule for senior year and take the AP exam, she might want to give that serious consideration. Chemistry for Engineers is a very tough class. Fortunately, my son was fine, but he had a lot of friends that missed dean’s list because of that class (dean’s list is 3.5 and Maryland uses the +/- grading, so an A- is 3.7, a B+ is 3.3, a B is 3.0, etc, so there is a significant difference).
On the other hand, if your daughter is already taking several AP’s in her senior year, she probably does not want to kill herself…senioritis is a highly contagious disease that can be quite devastating…senior year is stressful enough with college apps!
FWIW, my son eliminated GA Tech because he wanted a little more diversity in the student population (read females) but I don’t think that’s a concern for your daughter, haha. That does bring up a different concern though. Your daughter should look at and compare all the WIE (Women in Engineering) programs at each school. Let me know if you didn’t see the links for Maryland’s…
