Engineering is really brutal, to weed out a lot of slackers early on . My son is a Senior in Engineering and although he received only 1 B in 4 years , he had to work really hard . Engineering is almost as bad as Pre-med ,IMO . He had a 3.8 GPA from his HS . He received generous Merit Aid .He had a few weak grades in HS ,but was Captain of the Teen First Aid Squad ,and had impressive recs from the Squad and his teachers .
