I'm not smart enough for Industrial Engineering?
I'm a junior in high school and I fear that I am not smart enough to handle the engineering curriculum in college. I attend a Florida high school, but I'm in the IB program. By the time I graduate, the highest level of math I will have taken would be IB math [calculus and descriptive statistics]. Some of my friends who are considering engineering are practically geniuses in my opinion who are ahead of me in math. Also, I'm terrible at chemistry.
I'm a straight A student so far, but I still fear that's not enough. I am deciding between Industrial Engineering and Economics at UF. Sometimes I guess that this is just a confidence issue, but I'm not sure. Help!

The major factor in success is motivation. If you really like Engineering and you want to study it, you will be motivated and you will succeed. You just will have to work a little harder for it if you're not a math genius. I didn't get straight A's in high school at all, and I'm studying Electrical Engineering without too much trouble, just because I work hard. I see people smarter than me drop out every couple months, but they just don't do crap.

The premise of your publish is << i've a BS in mathematics and a minor in Chemistry..I was once wondering how difficult graduate industrial engineering classes are? >> Having a BS in Math (Chem minor) will not be ample credentials for IE grad institution. Headquartered to your post, you wouldn't have the specified Physics courses and a few normal Engineering subjects to get a basic working out of what the Engineering field is all about. And this being said (not having the the desired Physics guides and a few common Engineering subjects), I want to say that you're going to be having a difficult time in IE grad institution.
