Subjective Difficulty of Schools

<p>It’s possible if you carefully choose your classes and major to ensure they’re the “gut” majors. However, you seriously underestimate the number of top students, especially in Georgia owing to the HOPE scholarship, that opt to go to their in state public flagship. There are classes and majors designed for those students, and believe me, they are challenging. I worked for a non flagship university ranked about the same as PSU, and many of the classes were extremely difficult, regardless of how brilliant and well prepared an incoming freshman was. </p>

<p>That being said, why would you want to just breeze through college? Grad schools don’t admit people with the highest GPAs and employers don’t necessarily care if you graduated magna cum laude (doesn’t hurt though). They want people they know can do the job. If you went through four years of your life without trying to challenge yourself, what does that say about you as a potential employee?</p>
