Clark is fabulous. I highly recommend it.

It is not that difficult to pull a 3.4. My GPA is a 3.84. Attend nearly every class session, do most of the required reading, and complete all assignments with significant effort. If you have a legitimate extenuating circumstance that may affect your ability to complete an assignment on time, talk to the professor beforehand. Most students ask for extensions at one point or another. If you’re having trouble with course load, withdraw from a class and make it up during the summer (or take a fifth class the following semester) if necessary. Note: there is no financial aid during the summer, courses are few, and taking 5 courses is rough. The main challenge of getting into fifth year is tracking deadlines and maintaining not just cumulative GPA, but sophomore and junior cumulative, as well as final undergrad semester GPA. A final note- don’t plan so carefully that you allow for extra grad classes as an undergrad. Accreditation reqs. allow for 2, sometimes 3. Also, some fifth-year programs require a related undergrad major.
