<p>Thanks ralph4 for the info. My son’s stats are similar to your sons and so I’m trying to convince him to take on an easier schedule his first quarter, especially if he is trying to switch into engineering. He wants to go into Calc II if he passes AP Calc with a high enough score; however, I want him to retake it at Cal Poly his first semester since Calc I builds onto Calc II, etc. He probably won’t retake the AP physics courses though since according to him they are different areas of physics. Advising in Engineering told him to just go directly into Calc II, but I just don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s hard for these kids to understand that it’s not like high school, that college is harder and almost everyone there is smart.</p>
