<p>The Requirements I stated came directly from an admissions director last summer. I did not (nor did she) say you needed “AP Physics” simply a course in “Physics” meaning regular or honors would be fine. Although she did not say chemistry could substitute the admissions info on the college of engineering web site states that can substitute as well.</p>
<p>Direct quote from the Colleges of Engineering Admissions Page:</p>
<p>“High School Preparation & Admission to the College
A challenging college preparatory curriculum is your foundation for success in Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering. Specifically, you must present a minimum of 18 units. Four units of English is the standard requirement. The university requires three units of math (including algebra I, algebra II, and geometry), but College of Engineering students must have a fourth unit beyond these three. (The fourth unit must be in a higher-level math such as trigonometry or pre-calculus.) Two units of social science are required. The university requires two years of laboratory science (biology, chemistry, or physics), but engineering students must have at least three years, with physics and chemistry preferred.”</p>
