<p>i was wondering, what kind of qualifications does it take to get into a top-notch graduate program for engineering? i.e. a berkeley, or a stanford graduate program. what are some of the things i should be aware of throughout my undergrad years to increase my chances for a school of that caliber? </p>
<p>obviously, i'm going to have to keep my GPA high, but considering the fact i think i'm going to cornell which has an incredibly demanding engineering program, what kind of GPA do you think i need to retain to keep my chances high enough for grad school?</p>
