Regarding the following question:

-2

I attended a top 5 undergraduate engineering university off of an excellent high school resume that I didn't have to work very hard to get. However, my undergrad GPA was low (3.5/4.0), mainly because of not devoting enough time to my studies and failing to realize that the people who work the ha...

Hi, yes I posted that question.

eykanal

hey

yeah, so the main problem is that you're essentially asking, "how do I do everything?"

I have two suggestions for you:

1) spend time browsing through all the questions in the graduate school tag

this is clearly important to you, and I can assure you that many of your questions have already been asked... you'll find them there

Nick

Okay, I can see that. I will do so.

eykanal

2) for the future, when you ask a question, it should be a single question

Nick

Can do that too.

if you find yourself making more than two or three bullet points, it should be split up across questions

Nick

My second-to-last bullet point is very specific (so I imagine it has not been asked on here), and it is also probably the most important one.

eykanal

great, than just edit the question to leave that one there

you can edit while the question is closed

leave me a notice (by writing some comment with "@eykanal" in it) and we'll look at it for reopening

Nick

Alright. And I suppose my last bullet-point was kind of general, but would you happen to know the answer to that off-hand? You seem to know this place fairly well so I imagine you have insight into it.
