[quote=Anonymous]I struggled with engineering at a competitive school my freshman year but was able to recover and graduate with a 3.0. I was smart and well prepared for my small town, but was so far behind kids from schools like TJ and Stuyvesant. I powered through and it sucked, but I made it. I think your kid should think about what kind of engineer he wants to be and whether he is at the right school. I didn’t realize until I was on my co-op assignment that schools each have assumptions about how many of their students will proceed to grad school and what industries they are groomed for based on the professors’ research. I am glad I stayed and it got me into a good consulting firm doing non-engineering work, but if I knew for sure I wanted to work in industry I would have switched to a state school to struggle less or if I knew I wanted to go to grad school I may have transferred somewhere I thought I could get better grades.
