[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A student with 720 math is certainly good enough to study engineering at schools outside the top 10 in engineering such as Virginia Tech or Maryland. However, the student likely won't be consistently getting A's in their engineering classes, especially classes that are test-heavy.[/quote] Aside: Many engineering classes are graded on a curve. Unlike some majors, Engineering grade curves often set the median below 3.0. So engineering GPA tend to be lower than non-engineering. Engineering tests sometimes are silly difficult. I too 4 semesters of Calculus and remember Calculus classes where an A meant 50% correct and the minimum passing grade was 25% correct. [/quote]
