<p>Or is it physics, computer science and logic, and research? (Guess which I am more interested in?)</p>
<p>Are there research opportunities based on merit?</p>
<p>I'm a fan of more physics classes as opposed to math classes. Calculus I think is fun, but not when timing and quantity is given preference over quality and thoroughness. </p>
<p>Any sort of honors system with tests like in Brown or Caltech?</p>
<p>There's an honor code if that's what you mean. The emphasis of engineering at Princeton is engineering. There are specific engineering classes which involve both physics and calculus. I don't know exactly what you mean but engineering involves work with computer science, undergraduate research, design, and obviously logic when you're trying to figure out which side of the bridge is up and down (if you're a civil engineer.)</p>
<p>You'll be taking a math course at least every semester for half the time you're there, unless you're really advanced and can place out of stuff. Most engineering majors require calculus (MAT 103 and 104), multivariable (MAT 201), linear algebra (MAT 202), and differential equations (MAE 305), so you will be getting a lot of math, there's no way around that.</p>
<p>Five course is fine. Thanks for the breakdown. </p>
<p>I'll try to get a good grade on my Calc BC exam this year. I studied Bc at the same time I studied for my AB exam, so I have the year basically to review. </p>
<p>Sorry about the question :) I was worried about the course list including "introductory calc" or even in my local OSU, "precalc" so placing out of that with AP still left me with the actual calc courses, which would then take an extra year to finish, killing off at least three electives.</p>
