I have a 4.0 GPA and I am ranked 6th in my class of 394, but none of that is to brag—it is simply to show I am dedicated and that I care about my education. I wanted to ask this question because I do not want to be clueless when entering college. I am the kind of person who wants to be ahead of the game and able to help others around me. I am also asking because I know there are smarter, more experienced people who can give me access to things they wish they had known as upcoming engineers. Asking questions similar to this before, I heard about familiarizing yourself with modeling software before entering college and getting a high-powered computer; however, I do not know if I can financially. Also, I would like to thank the people who reply. Your time, effort, and advice will be greatly appreciated. I can't wait!
