yeah, we need to see what you’re doing and maybe tell us a little more about yourself (HS work ethic, plans at the next level)

18 credits as a senior engineer is exponentially more rigorous than 18 credits as a general engineer.

Every semester of higher level stuff is going to require you (or should, IMO) to step up your drive to a level you didn’t know was possible. As a freshman, 18+ (plenty do it, ask honors kids :-)) is largely going to be about whether you can devote the time required of you and “color within the lines.” You got into a good school, and lackluster effort will be good enough for Bs, solid effort should put you in the B+ to A- range, but it’s going to take focus to keep As.
