<p>Universities are familiar with high school curriculums within their state. They can look at an in state applicant’s current course load and know what prerequisite classes they completed. The high school engineering program that my son enrolled has graduates being accepted into engineering programs across the state. The engineering program is part of the Tech Academy with offers concentrations in biomedical and computer science also. Taking AP classes will always help but pursuing special interest in PLTW, IB or any other program does not prevent a student from reaching their goals of higher learning. </p>
