I heard that out of engineering, Aerospace is probably the hardest. I also heard the people majoring in it have almost no lives whatsoever.
Although I was in AP Calculus as a senior, I really didnt understand it very well, especially towards the end with that washer method stuff. I definitely wouldve scored a 1 if I attempted the AP test.
I got a 660 on the math for the sat which I guess is pretty good...I also only made it to regular physics.
Im terrible at understanding things that people try to tell me verbally, I absolutely HAVE to see it done and then do an example myself.
Im really bad at figuring out how things work...or understanding how things work..such as cars or paintball guns or little pieces of equipment. This really sucks because I am quite certain that this stuff is CRITICAL for being a freaking engineer.
Im entering the University of Washington this fall. A lot of very smart people go to that school. My GPA was only 3.2, well below the average high school GPA for the incoming freshman there. So I am basically thinking...I barely made it. I also was not involved in a single club or activity...didnt even have a job.
So I am wondering...probably more so than anything else in my life...how would the average sucessful Aerospace engineer do in the things I did? Did Calculus in high school and AP physics have to be quite easy in order to do well at a University when it comes to this stuff? Could I possibly make it? Would I have to have even less of a life than the regular no lifed aerospace students?
When or if I get to the point of having no life, what grades would signal that I should probably switch majors? (ive heard that if you struggle like hell to get your bachelors, you probably won't do to well in the job world at what you majored in).
Thank you all...and good luck
