School
I am studying Electrical Engineering at Utah State University and have been asked why I didn't go to BYU for school many times. People have said that I am smart but I have evidence that states how smart I really am which is what has generated the question of why I didn't go to BYU. So I am going to try it out and am willing to go out on a limb. I am going to apply to BYU so that I have a good reason why I never went to BYU. The reasons why I won't go to BYU are:
- Low grades
- low GRE score
- From Utah
- Not smart enough
Now BYU is a great school but so is USU and so is the University of Utah. I had a friend that got his MS in Electrical Engineering from BYU and he is now working and enjoying life having completed school.
GPA from USU is: 3.10
GPA from transfer credit from UVSC: 3.59
GPA cummulative: 3.34
Total transfer credits: 101
Total USU credits: 88
Total credits: 189
Expected total graduating credits: 202
I have so many credits that I could fail a class and I'd still have a 3.34 GPA. Basically my GPA isn't going to budge from what it is. I have failed a couple of classes in the past too which doesn't look good on a transcript.
I've been told that it makes my family happy that I am going to school and getting a decent degree which I can have a good career. Well I really wonder what is the worth of praise from the family? I value my education and I hope that I can get a good job after school. But my grades concern me for even getting a good job. My roommate said that I am in a high demand field and so I shouldn't have a problem getting a job but I have my doubts. I really won't know for sure where all of this schooling will take me for several years. For now I'd like to work on a MS in Electrical Engineering but I am doubting myself in being accepted to any school.
I do like my professors here at Utah State University. I have a desk with the grad students that I don't take nearly enough advantage of which I must thank Dr. Edmund Spencer for. My computer on campus is a Sunblade 1000 with an UltraSparc III microprocessor. I think that it is cool but I have a habit of doing all of my studying and homework on my own. My grades are entirely my own effort because of that. If I did need help I went to the professor and didn't do a homework or study group.
