Is it overwhelming/studying all the time/super stressful academically?</p>
<p>Freshman year I drank 4 nights a week and studied 4 hours a week. My GPA was about a 3.2</p>
<p>Every year after that, I started studying harder and focusing more. I started going to office hours. I started research which was a 15-20+ hour a week time suck that netted publications. My GPA climbed every semester.</p>

<p>Stressful, and occasionally overwhelming. It depends on what courses you select as well. They really won’t admit you, anyway, unless they judge that you can handle it.</p>
