<p>Because I am an in state student, I cannot speak on your chances. However I can say that taking AP Physics B (algebra based) will not get you out of taking Physics at PSU for engineering anyway. If you can take AP Physics C (calculus based) you have the chance to place out. If not, you can get transfer credit for B but it doesnt do anything for engineering majors (I am speaking from experience) besides give you extra credits that allow you to schedule sooner (which can be a good thing).</p>

<p>I’m not too worried about placing out–in fact I’d probably rather not and take the classes again just to make sure I’ve got my bases covered. Don’t want to get ahead of myself. :)</p>
