<p>Nevertheless, they did what they enjoyed (assuming that they did EE) and had good time management skills. But even geniuses need to study believe it or not. Also, if the op was a genius, (s)he wouldn’t be on collegeconfidential asking this question, because (s)he would already know the answer.</p>

<p>This is probably true. All the math and physics classes had sometimes difficult exams (where averages were at ~40%) but all the teachers that I had were pretty generous. Which allowed me to get A’s in all of them without much effort. This is because I enjoyed the subjects but also because more than half of the students in the class are slackers or don’t belong there. But when we get into the higher EE classes where some professors are very stingy with their grading, it gets significantly harder to grab that A that you did so easily in the lower division math and physics. And material gets considerably difficult, but nothing you can’t handle. So I’m not saying it’s impossible. But you must multiply your efforts for an A.</p>
<p>So if you can rank in the single digits in all your lower division math and physics classes with good amount of effort. I’d say you have a decent shot at getting that gpa.</p>
<p>Also some pathways and options of EE are harder than others…</p>
