Getting a stellar GPA with a south campus major?

<p>I’m a physci major, so I’m sure the other posters know a lot more about being an EE major than I do. But, my roommate and her boyfriend are both EE majors (kinda weird). She has a gpa in the range you are looking at and he is just below that range. I see them studying all of the time. He seems to get things quickly…He’s always over (obviously to spend time with her) studying, and it seems like he’s “tutoring” her. But, when the grades come in, she usually does better. I think she really sits down and puts in solid effort. He’s probably more “talented” (I hate that word), but she’s more into it. Anyway, my point is that if you are able to get in as an EE and put real effort into it, I don’t think that it’s as much “talent” as people say. Again, I’m not an EE major, but I do have a ~3.93 gpa (PhySci) which isn’t super easy.
The difference between me some of my buddies who do not have as high a gpa is not talent. I’ll be the first to say that some of them are smarter than me- it’s HARD work :).</p>
