<p>It was a long time ago but my first two years in the COE I got at least 1 D-, D, D+, C-, C, and C+ … I had a 2.5 after two years including one semester that was a 2.1. I ended up going to graduate school at Stanford and MIT.</p>
<p>PS - The COE is hard but virtually anyone staying on top of things will do fine (C+/B- average or better). Typically, a student struggling related more to their approach to their courses than the courses themselves being too tough.</p>
<p>PS #2 - Oldfort’s point is well taken … I had Physics and Math classes where the prof was shooting for a median around 50 … and as I was a C student at the time I was getting a lot scores in the 30s and 40s.</p>
