nomad2020 posted:If I do stick with engineering, I plan to finish off most of the lower classes at CC. Which gives me another ~year to work out the details and apply to more scholarships. Current plan is to slog through the calculus series (next term is pre-calc) and other assorted transfer credits. serious engineering programs are no joke, and if your current math state is not yet pre-calc then it's gonna be a real grind. I 100% like your attitude on all this and hope you succeed, but I also want to suggest you make sure you have finances sorted out and a backup job plan in case during year 2 of the engineering major coursework you decide it's not for you after all also if you're not attached to a particular flavor of engineering, may wanna scope out potential landing spots (future jobs at places you may have connections or be able to get internships, etc.) before fixating on one

Assuming contingencies clear here in the next couple weeks, it looks like work will be footing the bill. This both makes my decision easier and harder given that I can afford to shop programs a bit more.
