Hi, I’m currently a first year student in a California Community College. To get some background in my situation, I was in AP Physics 1 in high school last year and taking Pre-Calculus, I checked out a calc text book and taught myself enough calculus to pass the AP Physics C Mechanics test. Fast forward to today, I am currently in Calc 1 and in Mechanics of Materials, I took Statics last semester and am taking Calc 2 and Dynamics over the summer. Because of my situation in math I have not taken any of the Physics classes since Physics 1 requires a prereq of Calc 1 but by the this fall I will have completed all of the engineering courses(excluding circuits). I have 44 credits and should have 60 by the time the fall, how will colleges view this situation if I apply as an Aero Major?
Check the ASSIST.org page for the transfer requirements for your major at your target schools.
Physics courses are probably required due to being prerequisites to engineering courses. Even if you are admitted without them, it may delay graduation if you have to catch up on physics before taking more advanced engineering courses.
What score did you earn on the AP physics C mechanics test, and is it accepted in place of physics 1 at your target schools?
