<p>@SimpleLIfe has it right. My son is also an engineering freshman, hoping to major in aerospace engineering. He accepted 48 AP credits, so he will be a junior after this semester. He decided not to take another 20 or so AP credits for reasons discussed in another thread. I didn’t come to boast (although we all love to do so for our kids), rather to say that even with this kind of head start, my son still has to work very, very hard. He has called us several times at midnight when he was walking back to the dorm from a study group or a meeting with his ENG 111 team. There are tons of very smart, very motivated engineering students at A&M!</p>
