<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I wanted to major in bioengineering. Just a few quick questions:</p>
<p>What AP's do the colleges want to see?
What are the really good, good, and not-so-good colleges (strictly in academic terms) for this major?</p>
<p>Thanks guys</p>

<p>I did AP Biology, Physics, Calculus, World History, US History, US Government
and I have been successful in getting in really good bioengineering programs</p>
<p>Focus on getting a high GPA in a rigorous courses, with extra emphasis on sciences and math. Also high test scores help a lot.
