<p>I was wondering if someone could tell me how tough this would be...</p>
<p>I want to attend the University of Michigan as an Aeronautical Engineering major. Participate in AFROTC, and also run track for the UM track team.</p>
<p>How hard would it be to do all this and maintain a 3.5 GPA? I'm not a valedictorian or anything like that but I have decent grades. 3.9 GPA with 30 ACT.</p>
<p>How much homework is there for Engineering majors?</p>
<p>You can, but know that your social life may suffer in the process.</p>
<p>It is possible if you are truly dedicated to what you are doing and you are willing to sacrifice some things. I know some people who do ROTC and engineering and have trouble juggling that, so Track just compounds things. Even though many people do a TON of things in high school and still manage to excel at many things, college is a LOT more challenging in almost every way. That being said, I would encourage you to give it all a shot in the beginning and try to manage your time effeciently. Use the first month or so as a test run and drop activities/ classes accordingly if you find yourself struggling early on.</p>
<p>I think the main thing is managing your time wisely. When you say you're going to study, do it. When you're going to do a certain activity, do it. Pay attention in class, etc.</p>
<p>Keep a 24 hour planner planning every hour, alotting time for different activities, studying, class, social, intimate social, athletic events, and personal time like me...
JK...unless you feel the compulsive need to...like me...</p>
<p>This is for the most party irrelevant, but my roommate last year was aero space and in Marines ROTC, and when I first saw your post, I thought of him. Hopefully you're a much better student than he, cuz he hand a .4 GPA first semester and .7 second. He didn't even go out once last year! Needless to say, he dropped out.</p>
<p>That's insane!</p>
<p>I know! WOW!</p>
<p>So on average, that's a combination of D's and E's. Incredible.</p>
<p>yeah, first semester he had 16 credits i think. 1 D, 1 D- and two F's. Second semester, he had one class, 5 credits, which he already failed first semester and managed a D+.</p>
<p>what a failure</p>
