NothinButTheBest, I think it’s right for me to assume you’re finishing as a freshman at Stanford who will probably major in engineering. If you don’t mind, I have a few questions. I know this may sound annoying, but how tough are the math/sci classes at Stanford, specifically the intro ones? Are they hard to earn A’s in, or will diligent work result in mostly A’s? Also, how good are the Professors in teaching the material? I’ve often heard (not for Stanford, but other schools), that math and science Professors tend to not be very effective teachers. Lastly, did you engage in research/ secure an internship for this year or the summer in the engineering fields? This is of importance to me because I’d like something to do over next summer. Thanks a lot for reading my post!
