<p>How important it is to colleges whether or not one took advanced math/science courses and excelled in them in order to be considered for an Engineering major? I am interested in Engineering but I am shying away from the possibility due to my not so excellent grades, and I know there are many more qualified people out there. I am about to be a senior and I will be taking Chem II AP and Calc AB. As a junior I got a 70 in Pre-Cal PAP (1st semester) and 90 in regular Pre-Cal (2nd semester). As a sophomore I got an 83 in Chem PAP (1st sem) and 79 (2nd). As a junior I got 79’s for both semesters in Physics PAP.
My SAT is a 1900 (620 critical reading, 660 math, 620 wriitng)
My ACT was a 25 but I’m going to retake it…
I’m looking at schools such as UT Austin, Texas A&M, Baylor… just wondering so I know what path to choose when picking my major choices…
Thanks. </p>
