I crushed HS. Admitted to top Polish technical uni, dropped out due to health/mental issues I fail at uni hard. But in part it is because how terrible the whole process is. I spend more time trying to find relevant-to-exam-information than actually learning stuff. You literally sit for hours on end, listening to someone drone on. The exams themselves aren't particularly relevant either. I usually get passing grades, maybe a B+. The hard workers get A's...but when you ask them to explain anything they just derp hard. I will ace almost any actual project. I've signed up for a Rover Challenge team and learned so much more already... I constantly regret that my knowledge is rather rickety/shallow But at the same time it's rather wide-encompassing The point is, "academic achievement" is rather moot, IMO. You pick up tools, a soldering iron and suddenly learn there is much more to it
