<p>1) Do you have an engineering area in mind?
2) Can you take summer courses at your current school?</p>
<p>Do you have an engineering area in mind? - If your selected engineering area only needs Chemistry I…You could take that during the summer. I would not take Chemistry AND Physics the same semester.</p>
<p>Can you take summer courses at your current school? I would also see if that History course could be taken during the summer at your school (physically) or maybe online because some schools offer the “general education” courses online.</p>
<p>Either way, I would lighten that load this semester if you plan to beef up that GPA. Remember, your goal is to get admitted into the last 2 years of the program so whether or not it takes you after 2 years or after 3 years or somewhere in between should not be a high priority.</p>
<p>Also (for any engineering major): Always “stagger” your Calculus/Physics courses. Physics I usually requires Calculus I and Physics II usually requires Calculus II, so your combo SHOULD have been Calculus I/Chemistry I (semester 1), Calculus II/Physics I (semester 2) and Calculus III/Physics II (semester 3).</p>
<p>I MIGHT go as far as saying take Differential Equations before Physics II (because of the electric circuits) but that is for another thread.</p>
