What core classes did you take in high school to get accepted into college. And what are some good colleges around Pittsburgh or Ohio that have some type of engineering major? Thanks

You're looking for colleges... on an internet gaming forum? Oh man. Great plan. But seriously, I hear Mexico has some GREAT options...

Take all the science courses you can. And advanced math.

Agreed with the advance math tip, although I took them all I still can't figure out one thing.. if I love to 69, and a midget asks me to 69.. does the act count as a 69, a 34.5, or a 51.75.


Ahh fuck, I just got another headache.

I will be finishing highschool with 4.5 credits of Science (0 senior year) and 5 credits of Math (1 senior year). I'd guess they're important.

It also helps to not suck at the ACT/SAT tests.

SAT prep is a good course that prety much helps you get a better score on your SAT's.

depending on the size and the competiveness of the school you are palying for the SAT's will matter more/less than other places.

AP courses help get you out of anoying courses in College. AP Engligh gave me enough college credit in HighSchool to not have to take any in college.

Also SAT's are not the only thing that helps get one in. Extracuricular crap, and lots of it helps as well.

how much have you researched this on your own btw?

AP classes will only help. In my senior year, I took CompSci AB, Calc AB, and Physics C, and I got a 5 on each of the tests. Hence, I walked into my first semester of college with 19 credits already under my belt.
