Would I Fit In?

The workload is largely up to you, based on your GPA and course expectations. Even the very top students still have time for a life, just not at crunch times (when three major papers are due the same week for example).

Also, contrary to popular mythology, getting decent grades is not that difficult. two years ago, in my D’s graduating class, about 2/3 graduated with honors, meaning they had averages above 3.25. That would imply that a good number in that group had GPA well above 3.25.

Some majors are tougher than others. Econ, for example, is famously competitive. But the same could be said anywhere.

Ultimate Frisbee? My D’s passion. Yet she still did well, even living in the Frisbee building three years (sadly gone, I’ve heard…)
