My GPA this semester blows..

<p>Hey guys..</p>

<p>I'm in my 3rd semester of college, and I'm pretty sure I totally bombed it.</p>

<p>In the worst case scenario I get a 2.5 GPA, my cumulative will drop to around 2.8-2.9.</p>

<p>I did poorly on my economics and CS final exams, so I doubt I can pull off anything over Cs in those classes. </p>

<p>Since I have 5 more semesters to go, is there a possibility that I can once again make my GPA higher? I had a 3.6 GPA my first semester and a 3.0 for the second. Now, its going to drop even further.. </p>

<p>I started slacking, and my course work eventually overwhelmed me.. Its a sad, but painful mistake.</p>

<p>I just feel so depressed right now because winter break is just around the corner, and breaking this news to my folks is going to kill me inside... I know I can do well if I work hard. I got placed into engineering calculus 2 my first semester, and it was one of the most brutal courses I've ever taken. I managed to do well and actually earned an A, which left me quite surprised.</p>

<p>I'm at a state college that's probably ranked in the top 50. I want to aim for an MBA from a top end school such as NYU Stern, Wharton, etc. Please advise me on what grades I need to get now in order to pull my GPA back to a 3.5. Also, will those high end colleges look down upon me for gradually doing worse the first three semesters?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Well most average for engineering major is around 2.7 to 3.0 at reputable schools. Are you trying get into Grad school or something? Just try to get above 3.0 for jobs because that is where that cutoff is. Just take it easy and take your mind of about grades over the break.</p>
