I went to a small school not well known/competitive for engineering and finished up with a 3.5 after dual majoring in BME and Biology. I was very nervous about how I would fair with graduate coursework as I was accepted to a Masters Engineering program at Carnegie Mellon University (a program leaps and bounds better than my undergraduate). I found a few courses were challenging but as stated above you typically have less coursework at one time but also the obligations (necessary or not) of undergraduate life are sorta gone so you will likely find yourself much more focussed. I ended up finishing my Masters in 1 year with a GPA well above my undergraduate. If you want to continue your education be confident and go for it.

Did you receive information about recruitment in a email separate from your "Check your application" email I would assume? I was also accepted but have not received any information about that event.

I got an email from Case January 11th inviting me to the open house in March.

Congrats on the CMU admit. I currently work in their MSE department, even if its not your top school give it a shot there are some amazing faculty here.

Has anyone heard back from the University of Pittsburgh?
