<p>I decided to not study physics in my last two years of high school and I am wondering can I still get into a good engineering school? e.g. MIT or Cornell? I take the IB with Chemistry HL, Math HL, Spanish HL and English SL, History SL, Art SL. I took a GCSE in physics freshman and sophmore year (I live in England so this is a British qualification) and got an A+.</p>
<p>Any help/advice would be great!</p>
<p>I would think so ,as HS doesn’t offer Chem . Eng . Ask at your school .They would have the best info for you .</p>
<p>Freshman physics courses for engineering majors in the US typically expect at most a year of typical high school physics from US high schools (which is probably less rigorous than your two years in the UK), but do expect calculus (freshmen who have not had calculus typically wait a semester before starting physics so that they can get a semester of calculus in first – but if you do well in IB math HL, you may be able to start physics in your first semester).</p>
<p>Thanks so much! I was looking on some college admissions websites and most say minimum 1 year of physics so I will hopefully be set with my two years.</p>
