It's just gotten very annoying, living down here in SLO i've met so many of the other students and there are so many of them in for things like engineering or architecture that just don't know why they are doing it. They either drop, change majors or go through with it for no reason. Whereas yeah i spent my first year at my CC slacking, but then i really clicked and i've been working by butt off, get rid of my first 2 semesters i would have a 3.5, probably better. Hell, last semester i took dynamics, and both strengths of materials classes and got B+, A, A respectfuly. Plus took welding and psycology and got A's in those too. But those are grades that poly doesn't get to see. and wont help me.
There were 2 girls from Poly in my strengths class, one archy and one civil, barely could do the statics. Just kills me that they are where i want to be and i could tutor them and not be there.
I just hate myself for that first year, it's what's gonna kill me if anything does.
Oh and about the avg. GPA being a 3.38. That year i knew a few people who got in for engineering (civil) with 2.5's. so if you have a 3.0 with all required classes done, you should be in a very good position. That's the GPA for all the transfers, not just engineering and architecture. No offence, but there are some majors where the material just isn't the same. Where I am going through semesters with 3 or 4 solid major related courses, multiple labs in a semester. There are some students taking bio classes that 90% of which i learned in high school.
I know 2.5 sounds a bit low i know, but it's what I was told about the guy, He transfered after my first year at SRJC. It was kinda funny, gave us all hope :P
But yeah, i think i got flat C's my first year except 2 B's, one in first semester physics and the other in my engineering graphics. Chem, calc, english, and a others i just didn't put in the effor for homework or anything. But that's all behind me now.
RobertMW, I understand what you mean about people in CE and Arch that really don't take it seriously. What ****es me off about other Arch. majors at my school is that many of them don't take the structures classes seriously or they don't take the designing seriously. How they hell can you be inspired to design multiple simple square floorplans, seriously? There are a couple bright lights down here, but most think that Arch. is a load of bull. I heard that one of our students went out to UNLV. She was awesome in designing, but when she was at my JC, she didn't take structures seriously, so she failed up at UNLV. These committees need a better decision making process that determines the students that will really go the distance. I don't mind people changing their majors, that's cool, but people need to understand that CE is more than math and Arch is more than art. Respect your major.
