Hello I am going to Ohio State and plan on becoming a Computer Science Engineer. I have not taken Calculus yet and my highest science class was chemistry. It's not that I am not good at math or science I enjoy them, I just really messed up in high school and didn't take what I should of. I have never wanted to do something this great in my life and its all I have been thinking about. I was just wondering is it possible still to become one or am I to behind? Also has anyone here been accetped to a Engineering School I would love to hear about what are the things they look for in an applicant. Thanks for your time and sorry for the length.

You probably won't be behind as long as you start calculus your very first semester in college.
 
I only took algebra and geometery in high school and ended up earning a master's degree in engineering.
