[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a junior in HS and also wants to do civil engineering. He took 3 pre-engeneering courses in his HS but he did not take any AP courses other than history. Does that mean he stands no chance at getting accepted into a civil engineering program?[/quote]

Motivation and diligence matters most.

Yes, taking AP Calc would help with engineering admissions, as would a science AP, but he doesn't have to take AP Calc or AP science. I will urge he take some Calc class his senior year, if possible, as that will help a lot.

I took AP English and AP US History in HS. My HS did not even offer Calculus. I was accepted at 3 well regarded colleges. I had to work hard in engineering, especially in math, but I graduated on time and work in engineering now. [/quote]

Thank you for this. He is planning on taking pre-calc and calc by the time he graduates. Math is usually not all that hard for him. I think he would do well because the only courses he ever really cared about his whole life are the pre-engineering courses he is taking. He doesn't get phenomenal grades because the teacher is super strict, but he loves them.[/quote]
