<p>I’m a fourth year EE. I’ve gotta say that while the quality of ee majors varies across a pretty big range, the guys getting that kind of gpa are truly exceptional. They work their asses off but they’re also brilliant on some level. I’d say hard work can get an avg ee student(talent-wise) to the 3.5-3.6 range. 3.8+ is another story. There are a lot of slackers here but also many who work very hard, and to get 3.8-3.9 youll need to consistently be top 10-15%. That’s where raw talent makes a difference.</p>
