Good Morning Judith, actually in high school I didn't know I wanted to be an engineer at all. I lloked for a college that best suited my want I was good at and that was math and science. Georgia tech best suited my specialities and I ended up choosing Civil Engineering because I tool a class and enjoyed it. As far as classes I would takeas many AP classes as possible.
