Not Sure What to Do After First Year of Electrical Engineering

<p>The ACT/SAT are IQ tests in disguise. Not saying that they are perfectly accurate, but they’re usually within the ballpark of being accurate. People with average IQs are more likely to struggle in something like calculus.</p>

<p>Have you looked into what you actually like and are decent at?</p>

<p>I started off EE and after that Signals course, I had to tap out. Then I went to being a CS major and then settled on being a Math major emphasizing CS. I didn’t have one of these super-duper GPA after undergrad…but STILL hustled/found loopholes to go on to grad school and “play the game” in the corporate world.</p>

<p>First, you have to find what you are decent in. It doesn’t HAVE to be that you HAVE to be an ace at it.</p>

<p>…and SAT/GPA/IQ and all that other stuff that thousands of these threads say will have little impact.</p>

<p>How much time do you devote to your studies? Are you a member of a study group? Do you invest time with a tutor and/or professors? Are you easily distracted? Please provide us with more information about your study habits; there’s little sense in pushing forward if you will continue making the same mistakes.</p>

<p>Enginox is correct. If you do not have good study habits, organization and are not focused then it doesn’t matter all that much what major you pursue because you will still have trouble academically.</p>

<p>very true statement. learned from 1st hand experience that procrastination and engineering do not mix at all</p>
