Tough to do at RPI, there is a lot of lab time and the tests are pretty challenging. I don’t know many people who “barely studied” and had a GPA better than like 2.5 range… > [@Another rocket down....](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/another-rocket-down/31623/5): > > Where do you go to school?

I take 20 credits a semester to help me keep my GPA up, so if one class is going bad before the drop date, I can drop it and not drop down to 12 credits, which would put me behind for my dual major. It happened that this semester, everything is going awesome and has been very manageable until this week. I had an A or an A- in all my classes at the drop deadline so I figured why drop one? I can be a bit ahead, in case shit happens further down the road where I can only take 12 credits. Cool plan you got there… Seems to work- but maybe only in school. Piece of advice: just remember in real life when you get out that when things are going $hitty you can’t just drop the project(s) that are going $hitty and then figure out how to do them well after another 6 months. Not trying to be a d$ck, but I’m just saying that if you make a habit of overcommitting and bailing out when things get too tough in college, it could lead to similar behavior when you are working. Bosses usually don’t like that. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/multiple-all-nighters-to-come-advice-needed/251892)._
