Pathway for College

Have a questions for all those graduated or toward their last years in university. Finishing my first semester in college. Took more challenging than average classes and finishing the semester with a 3.5. For the future semesters, should I prioritize on taking easier classes that meet requirements to inch closer to a 4.0 or continue taking more challenging classes that may not bring up my average.

Why are you taking more challenging courses? Are these part of your curriculum? If not then you’re wasting your time and shooting your self in the foot. Focus on the courses that you NEED. Do well in them and prepare for the recruiting process for whatever job you want.
