<p>OP, there does not to seem to have been any discussion so far about your Math background. Most colleges and universities will not allow you to register for the first semester of Calculus based Physics which is usually Mechanics until you have completed Calculus I as a prerequisite and are enrolled in Calculus II as a co-requisite. If you are strong in Math you can succeed in College Physics whether you took Physics in high school or not. On the other hand, if you do not have good Math skills, including Calculus, you will really struggle with Physics in college even if you took a lot of Physics in high school.</p>
