<p>Hello everyone, </p>
<p>I'm not sure but I think this is the right place for my post, since I find my situation like a real challenge :)</p>
<p>Long story "short". I'm from Spain, 31 years old, permanent resident, finished high school in 2001 (it's been a while I know haha), right now getting fit to join the national guard, and with a challenge and a ton of excitement in my mind.</p>
<p>So the thing is that after these years, experiences, and having lived abroad the last 6 years in different countries, I've decided that I'm going to stay in the US because I feel like at home. </p>
<p>I did study maths, physics and chemestry in high school, but as you can imagine, most of it is gone or hidden in my brain.
I want to to study an engineering, not sure if mechanical or civil, but for sure one of those. It's something I've always wanted to do, and now it is the right moment.</p>
<p>I know I can look a bit old to start such a hard process, but we only live once, and my background and maturity should help during this 'adventure'.</p>
<p>My questions!, and sorry for such a long email, but I thought it could help to understand my circumstances better.</p>
<p>-May you tell me what to prepare in order to pass the admission exam of the engneering schools?. Of course not only to pass that exam, but also to be prepared to success during the first year. "Syllabus" of each subject, or any good book for maths, physics, etc....</p>
<p>-I studied a lot of spanish history, but almost nothing about the american. I s this a must for the college?. I plan to study it anyways since now this is my country. I'm just focusing in the engineering thing.</p>
<p>-And the last one, anyone know how hard is the process to join for a profile like mine?. </p>
<p>I appreciate the time you could have taken to read my post, and any help or guide you guys could offer me. I read and read about this matter, but I tend to compare with the european structure and the requirements, and there;s a little chaos right now in my head.</p>
<p>Thanks, seriously!!!</p>
