So I’m a 3rd year mechatronics engineering student, I wanted to get into grad school for engineering or maybe even physics. But after this semester I don’t know if I can actually get in or if I’m even smart enough to.
I purposely split my 3rd year up and I’m only taking 3 courses this semester and I’m doing average on every test I take. I keep saying I’ll make up for it next test and then study super hard and then still do average at best for the next test. Like I haven’t hit a 80 on a test at all this semester.
There’s legit nothing more I could do, I do all the homework, I do practice exams, I go to office hours, I teach my friends. There’s nothing more I can do at this point. Should I just give up on grad?
Honestly I was thinking of retaking some courses boost my gpa but honestly if grad isn’t for me then I could just save myself money and just flunk the remaining classes in my degree and just do enough to pass. Like I have 2 exams remaining and I’m debating if I should even bother studying for them since I already basically passed so I might just give myself a early summer break and just enjoy myself.
So basically should I even bother trying to get good grades for grad and potentially retake courses or just forget grad and just adopt the “C’s get degrees” mentality
