Many students I knew struggled with the first few classes and I would guess only about 40-50% of the students that started as engineers in my class freshman year graduated with me.

Like I said it may not be right for everyone, but its something to consider once your heading towards college.

EDIT: For clarity, I am referring to classes that are in your direct curriculum. So for engineers, calculus, physics, chemistry etc.
