[quote=Anonymous]My first week in E School, the Dean spoke to all the incoming E School students. He approximately said: "Every one of you is fully capable of graduating. We filter our acceptances carefully to avoid giving false hope. Engineering is hard for everyone. Use faculty office hours to get help. Start homework when it is assigned, not the night before it is due." It was good advice and that E school did have a 4-yr graduation rate above 90%. HS friend who instead went to VT got the "look left and right, only 1 of you will graduate in engineering in 4 years" speech. He graduated on time from VT, but it was not in Engineering. Last I heard, he worked part time nights as a security guard and evenings as staff at a math tutoring center. [/quote]
