Virginia Tech Engineering Quick Questions

Applying to College
1

<p>I just have some quick questions about admissions to Virginia Tech Engineering:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I'm taking AP Calculus AB my junior year- should I take BC my senior year if I want to be admitted to engineering?</p></li>
<li><p>If I work hard enough, I'll be able to get a 4.2 GPA by the end of my senior year. I will have taken 9 APs by the end of high school. Will this GPA be good enough? So far I have a 4.02 (as a sophomore).</p></li>
<li><p>Do I need to take AP Physics C?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>For engineering, a 4 on calculus AB or a 3 on calculus BC gets out of the first semester of freshman calculus. A 4 on calculus BC gets you out of the first and second semesters of freshman calculus.</p>

<p>For engineering, only a 5 on each physics C section gets you out of one semester of physics matching the physics C section. Scores of less than 5, or physics B, are not useful.</p>
