<p>The same thing happened to me. I went from having a 98.8 unweighted GPA in high school (with hard classes) to making a 45 on my first college exam, in honors physics. Wow, what a wakeup call! I was all “Poor me,” at first, but then realized I needed to get with the program. I got a physics tutor and worked really hard. I still made a C that semester, but bumped it up to a B second semester, and finished college with an overall 3.8 GPA in engineering. So YOU CAN DO IT, but you will have to decide to work hard! Don’t be afraid to spend a lot of time talking to professors. Even though I went to Texas, a HUGE school, I found the profs to be accessible and willing to help anyone who asked.</p>
