APs in general prepared me for the lower division which basically is on the same level of difficulty. They taught me how to handle heavy work loads.

Most useful AP classes (for an engineer)?

1. AP Calculus AB/BC. Skip straight to differential equations. This is very important to be able to graduate on time / a whole year early. Most of the engineering courses require differential equations as a prerequisite and without this boost I wouldn't be able to graduate in 3 years.

2. AP English Language: Skip to sophomore year English, which is a prerequisite to some Jr. level classes that I took in my 2nd year.

Most important GE completing courses:
AP Art History (no art class required)
AP Biology (no life science course required)
AP US History (no US history class required)

And the many other AP classes that got me out of miscellaneous GE requirements and allowed me to register with very high class standing and get classes when most first years can’t.
