<p>Thank you very much for those who took this as seriously as I am.</p>
<p>Take any computer electives your teacher takes as you will be required to have excellent computer skills for most of those majors. Also, I would suggest taking physics and possibly calculus. If pre-cal or calculus isn’t offered, try to study finance or accounting which may not apply toward your major but will give you skills you may use later in life.</p>
<p>AP English - yes
AP calculus - can you take BC instead of AB?
AP US history - yes</p>
<p>For other courses:</p>
<p>Have you taken all three of physics, chemistry, and biology (physics will be most useful for engineering)?
Have you completed level three or higher of a foreign language (or otherwise have proof of higher level proficiency)?
Have you had any art and/or music courses (particularly if you want to go into animation, computer science with graphics emphasis, etc.)?
Have you taken any computer science courses?</p>
<p>Yea, they dont offer AP Comp AB at my school and I really dislike them for that. I go to one of the best, but they don’t have it. I’m taking with my guidance counselor to see if I can take it in the library as a course online. I tried doing it over the summer but only got half way because it was too long. Thanks.</p>
<p>I am very experienced with computer by the for as background information. I’ve built many computers and have even constructed my own from scratch. I am familiar with the online world and lots of software. So much to the point where I was able to breeze by an online computer class in the summer. Thanks again everyone.</p>
