For all you out there with these great grades, what kind of advice would you give to someone without such a high GPA who hopes to bring it up?
I am currently a mechanical engineering major, so sometimes an A isn't really the goal, just passing is. It seems like sometimes, just being at the top of the failing grades is a success. What do you do to raise your grades when the entire class is failing?
My GPA is currently a 2.43 on a 4 point scale. My friends tell me they are proud of me for A) not flunking out, B) not giving up, and C) still having an outside life and being active in the community (I volunteer, go to church, am active at church, am on the EBoard for 2 organizations on campus)
I just have a hard time believing that this is something to be proud of.
When I was in high school, I graduated in the top 10 percent of the class in the National Honor Society and the National Foreign Languages Honor Society, took AP classes and was in 4 different extra curricular activities.
Do you think that maybe this is affecting the way I view my college career?
Any advice that any of you have would be greatly appreciated.
Study skills, time management advice, helpful websites, anything.
Also, if you have any female contacts in the mechanical engineering field, please let me know. I am always looking for contacts and mentors.
Thanks
