<p>A little more about myself</p>
<p>I am currently a second-year Engineering Honors student and have tons of credits (AP/IB) from high school accumulated that I have nothing but extremely difficult technical courses to fill up my spring semester schedule with. To make a long story short, at first I was proud to be taking a bunch of highly-challenging, intense courses relevant to my major while a lot of my friends and other peers were still working on their general requirements. I think in some ways this was good, but I had a hard time making those “top” grades since the honors engineering classes were definitely very challenging.</p>
<p>My goal is to go into graduate school after graduating, and I understand that grad schools place a high emphasis on GPA (along with other criteria such as research). The spring semester registration period is coming up this Monday, and I would like to know what my options are. I am not looking forward to filling up my schedule entirely with easy classes, just to boost my GPA. I don’t believe in that. But I do need a few guaranteed As in order to balance out my GPA (and to use that extra time leftover to focus on research projects). Thanks in advance for any input</p>
