My D decided late junior year to pursue engineering. Before that it was art and all her EC’s were art and music., with the exception of math club, which her sister made her join as a junior. It was no problem to be admitted or to do very well in an engineering program. She did not find herself behind the kids who had done robotics and such. She had completed AP chem, AP physics, and AP calc BC in high school.
Being a great writer is a huge asset in engineering,
Consider schools with a first year engineering program that allows you to explore different majors within engineering, if you haven’t narrowed things down by the time you hit college. The one my D looked at was University of Arizona, which did not have competitive admission to individual majors after the first year. My D ended up attending a tech focused school and dove straight into her intended major.
