Rigor - 2 AP in Junior Year

Is 2 AP in Junior year not rigor enough for school like A&M or Purdue or OSU ( Ohio State University) for engineering ?

In 10th grade I took 2 APs and 2 Honors.

Thanks

AP

How many honors courses are you taking your junior year? Also, what AP courses did you take? We’re they in any way related to engineering (such as Math, Computer Science, or any other science besides environmental or biology)?

I am taking AP Comp Sci A and AP CALC AB. I am also doing duel enrollment ( community college) - Composition and writing . The dual enrollment is because I could not get AP lang due to schedule conflict. I decided to take it at a community college.

Hi, Can you give more insight about your academic background, I just want to give an honest opinion. OSU currently has about an 57% acceptance rate, with my stats the changing simulator gives me about a 97% acceptance chance. But it'd help if you some more information, gpa, CV, EC's , test scores

This simulator has multiple issues. It does not take into account the out-of-state factor. It also gives me a 96% chance for Ohio State University, which I doubt. Out of state, coming from California, Southeast Asian background, male, engineering major.... All factors are against me. I doubt - 96% is my chance.

A&M takes only 6% of out of state students , this simulator is showing me 84% chance...no way in hell, I have this high chance with all the factors that I have listed above.

Hi @Abish!

It depends on what the APs and honors classes are as well as which state you're in. If you're in TX and in the top 10% of your class, Texas A&M might not be that hard to get into. However, if you're out of state, it's very hard to get in.

Hope this helps!

unfortunately I am not in Texas. I am in California, which makes it even harder to get into any out of state universities.
