<p>like some of the other posters have pointed out it is by no means impossible to do well here. It ultimately comes down to how hard you are willing to work and how well you are able to adjust to college life. I’m currently a second semester freshman. (have a dece gpa around a 3.3) Most people dont realize what hard work really means until they get to tech. Honestly the best thing to do at tech is to keep up with the work. Read the textbook before your lecture. If you dont understand something then go to your professors’s office hours. It’s when you let yourself fall behind that you start to see tech as impossible. Now im only a freshmen but that was the most important thing i needed to work on my first semester.(and i can now see how much of a difference that really makes in my 2nd semester) Obviously down the road as the courses get harder(due to the nature of engineering) the amount of work needed to stay on top of things will increase dramatically. Ultimately it comes down to whether or not you are willing to put aside the time to do the work(and it is a LOT of time). With that being said i love it here at tech and have not once regretted my decision to come here.</p>
