I live in the United States. I go to a school in Georgia. I want to get into the computer engineering program CO-OP. In my school we just have a regular course of physics and no APs. Our school also does Math 1 for 9th, Math 2 for 10th, Math 3 for 11th, and Math 4 for 12th. So neither does my school have AP Calculus. Do you think I could still get in? Has anyone gotten in, that has not done AP Physics or Calculus?

you don't need AP classes to get into Waterloo.

Quote:

AP Calculus, AP Physics (or 2 high school Physics courses when AP is unavailable), Algebra (Pre-Calculus), Chemistry, Grade 12 English, and one additional Grade 12 academic course, each with a minimum final grade of 70%. Minimum final overall average of 85% in the 6 required courses.

They do say that AP courses are "normally" required, but it seems that's not always the case. Especially if you do well on your SAT/ACT

Are you sure? Do you know of anybody who has gotten into computer engineering without it?
