2.75 senior mech e. This major is easy as tits I havn't studied or done any work in 4 years. Final semester just gota sit through another fucking stupid thermo applications class withount even a whiff of statistical physics. Already got job offers coming in from companies i've interned in. Why is life so fucking easy in america, I feel like at some point I will have to apply myself but this is just too easy, even if I only start at 70k I don't even know what I will do with the money, I guess I'll just save up for like 20 years untill some qt3.14 comes along and spends it.

>reed is shit
The professors are nice, I have a publication and multiple conference posters as an undergrad, and about to submit another. If you're motivated and work harder than the shitters surrounding you, the professors will help you get into a good graduate school.

However, my fellow students are for the most part terrible and more concerned with identity politics than learning or hard work.

Overall I hate this place and wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but I don't regret coming here.

[Anonymous No.8613384]

I have a 2.77.

How fucked am i? I'm retaking a class to replace a bad grade with a good one.

[Anonymous No.8613391]

>>8613384

This is my exact GPA. Think there's a class that needs to be replaced tho, gonna talk to some people about it.

GPA just makes you have to put more effort to getting your foot in the door in a place, once you've got a good work history you won't have to worry about it.

I hope.

[Anonymous No.8613399]

>>8613384
As the other person said, after getting work experience your GPA will fade into history. Obviously you want to get your GPA up as best you can, but you can definitely find jobs with a sub 3.0 GPA, it will just be tougher and be harder to land.

The perks of a high GPA is that you can go down any path you'd like, but these paths can be attained with a low GPA through connections or a little later with relevant work experience

This is mainly based on the university and usually just depedent on the professors grading. A 3.5 GPA at one uni could be seen as just as good as a 4.0 at another desu some unis are just more rigorous

[Anonymous No.8613503]

>>8613501
Be honest. Quite a lot people full with 4.0 GPA with literally low bars exams out there. Even in STEM.

[Anonymous No.8613508]

>>8613422
If you are in math, physics, or engineering just know that calc 1 and phys1 are just the beginning and if you cannot conquer those than youll have a hard time with further classes.

Tbh just take good notes during lectures and get help from your professors or TAs if you need for a particular concept as that is what they are there for

[Anonymous No.8613522]

>>8613520
Not even remotely true. However it's easier to get good grade in grad school since grades are curved to hell.

[Anonymous No.8613532]

>>8613503
I do wish the average was around 70 like it should be, but professors typically choose to curve or not. In my physics 3 class there was absolutely no curve and the average tests were about 67ish, but some people would still get 90s. Weekly homework and quizzes definitely pull final grades up a bit though
