I need a down-to earth talk about life as an engineering student.

Sure. Welcome to America. Opportunity is everywhere !</p>

<p>Getting 4.0 is great, but if you have to stress yourself out would be stupid lol</p>

<p>I say it’s difficult to get 4.0 because the next four years are full of uncertainty.
You can have the most unfriendly professor who will appear on your hater list forever. </p>

<p>It’s doable. Some universities are actually known for their GPA inflations.

Big curves can be very very good.</p>

<p>I don’t think any engineering is easy. It’s pretty personal. You might find one course easier than the other. You might hate programming but I think it’s a piece of cake. Right?</p>

<p>If it is hard to get 4.0 at MIT, then I think this guy from our school deserves a national medal lol. He graduated with 4.0, physics and chemistry major, and minor in mathematics, in 4 years, and also the valedictorian of the ENTIRE school. He was given full scholarship to Standford for particle physics. It is hard to get 4.0 at any school :slight_smile: Work hard, but don’t forget to chill.</p>
