Kingsley, Canada AddedWednesday, May 21, 2014 at 9:19 PM Is Getting a High GPA Hard to Get When Studying Engineering? I am going to start my aerospace engineering with my undergraduate study in Carleton University. And I have a question here, is getting a 3.4 above GPA hard in this field? And any suggestions can help me with doing the high GPA in University? Thanks!

I had a GPA lower than a 3.4 and ended up with several job offers right out of university. As for ways to keep your GPA up I highly recommend looking into what services your university provides. For example, mine had free tutoring. I also utilized the teaching assistance and professor's office hours at every chance. I also recommend staying on top of your classes, and getting help sooner rather than later. I often did not know I needed help until finals time, and by then it was to late. Remember to also have some fun! ~Amelia
