>He thinks anything below a 90% isn't absolutely trash

Seriously, if you can't get above 90% in core engineering academic courses (Math, physics, thermo, fluid dynamics etc), just fucking give up.

It's so fucking easy, you literally just read the book, do practice questions and show up to the test and you're fine.

Anyone else kinda chaffed that they're not a "gifted" kid who has 140-150+ IQ and everything is obnoxiously straightforward for them?

I'm not dumb by any means, with my testing coming back between 130 and 135, I think I'm pretty smart and that's what got me into mit aero astro. What pisses me off is how hard I had to work in comparison to some others who got here. I know some guys currently in this program and similarly competitive masters programs that play hearthstone 4 hours a day, and I am so fucking jealous that they can perform at the same level as me and not devote their entire fucking existence to it

Studying and learning has been the tale of my life for the past 6 years and I'm really starting to feel like I've wasted my time getting here because, unlike the ones with the natural intelligence who are able to get to this point while enjoying their life, I have given up everything...From my family, to early undergrad friends, to my fucking country (I left canada for this).

I'm seriously going through an intellectual crisis right now because people are smarter than me

>do engineering first year
>piss easy
>oh if u tink its easy now just wait til later
>do mechanical engineering second year (top 20 US engineering institution as well)
>actually easier than first year
>repeat for third and fourth, the easiest two years that were all projects
>hardest thing for me was graduate research work and publishing my research, only because I had an undergrad level knowledge of thermofluids and was talking about shit on a phd level

why do people say engineering is hard? If you dedicate your life to the lifestyle, it's pretty fucking straightforward.

yeah the course intensity is hard, but the content is straightforward and you'll always be compared against ~110 IQ peasants

i respect math and physics majors more. Much smarter on average
