Voting Question: How can I get into a TOP TEN engineering school?

25 July 2010, 9:38 pm

I just finished my first year of college, and to be honest, I was kind of floundering about. I hadn't decided on a major and I didn't really take my first year as seriously as I should have. So far I've finished 27 credits (Low, I know). I've made 4 A's and 3 B's, and my GPA is about a 3.6 right now. I am ready to buckle down and make straight A's for the rest of my time in college. I am ready to get involved in research and internships and declare a major in a type of engineering. Right now I am leaning towards Entertainment Engineering and Design. I am going to UNLV and I have always wanted to work in the entertainment industry on set design and creation - BUT I also want to pursue a PhD. Would majoring in Entertainment Engineering hurt my chances of being accepted into a top PhD program? Should I go for mechanical instead? I really liked that the Entertainment engineering program integrated art and design into the curriculum. What should I do from here? I REALLY want to get into an amazing school but after a year of doing nothing towards this, I feel like I'm so behind! Any tips or advice?... Read More »
