So I guess I'm not the only one who had a hard time at Cornell.

That's funny because at NJIT they told us the same thing, although i really didn't think it was that hard. The only thing that was hard was waking up for the 830 classes (those two classes were the ones i just happend to fail). I think a lot of engineering schools are like that though, in my freshmen class, half the class i'd say was there just because they wanted the fat pay check of an engineer. Most didn't care about the material, or the career, or had any passion for what it's about, they just did really well with tests and studied a lot.
