<p>Is it true that the academics at Rose are very, very challenging? </p>
<p>Or is it a hype?</p>
<p>Are there any current students who I could talk to about Rose?</p>
<p>It really depends on your work ethic. I’ve seen students come in with 4.2GPAs from high school and then they’ll only have a 2.5-2.7 at Rose. In my case, I only had a 3.71 in high school and still managing (optimistically once grades come out) a 3.25+ GPA.</p>
<p>I’ll also say that “weeding out” does occur…just not intentionally like in many other state schools.</p>
<p>But do you find the classes challenging enough?</p>
<p>I am currently studying mechanical engineering in the uk and finding it easy, maybe because of my high school courses. I wish to transfer to Rose but am not sure if the difficulty would increase there.</p>
<p>It would be great if you could elaborate on the general rigor of the classes there.</p>
<p>I know this is a late reply and all, but I feel that the classes will challenge you very much. I’m a senior, and even the people who have 4.0 GPAs have to study constantly. It doesn’t come easy to anyone.</p>
