<p>Hello, I'm a rising senior who recently came to the United Stated (I was from a Latin American country, and came 2 months before school ended).</p>
<p>I'm thinking of becoming a Chemical Engineer, and this is a risky decision because I've never been good in math, physics or chemistry; and don't have a good background of knowledge as well. However, this summer I have been studying a lot of math and preparing myself for the extremely difficult task that I should overcome in order to have success in college.</p>
<p>I have a GPA of 3.70 or so. As I moved from a different country, they didn't count the ''honors'' classes because they don't even exist where I come from. I want to take AP Chemistry, Pre-calculus honors, and Physics honors next year.</p>
<p>I don't know if that is suicidal. However, I have a worse suicidal proposal, and this is to replace Pre-calculus with Calculus AB, and Physics honors with AP Physics B. I read that there were many people who took AP Physics B with zero or little background and they passed the AP exam with a 5. So, should I risk or is it too dangerous for my GPA?</p>
<p>I was thinking as well about taking Calculus AB (I have a better background in math, and passed Algebra II with 4.0) at the same time, though I'm really sure. I just want to be really prepared when I get to study any kind of Engineering. I know that it's a suicidal combination and that I'd barely sleep, buuuuuuut I'm not sure. What do you think?</p>
