As an American student, your first concern is the graduation requirements of your school.
I believe students can also find that American universities put forward diversified graduation requirements for students. The first is the overall credit requirement for graduation, which requires students to take enough credits or hours to graduate. The second prerequisite for graduation is the requirement of GE course. To graduate, we must not only meet the requirements of overall credits, but also meet the curriculum requirements of redundant general education in schools. There is not much pressure for everyone to understand the requirements of total credits, so there should be no problem. However, we saw that many students were forced to postpone their graduation for half a year or even 1 year because they did not meet the requirements of GE. We had a student before, because the school tutor missed the Agger course when he arranged the course for him, so he had to take the science course at school for half a year 1 before he could graduate. There are also several students who don't want to face liberal arts courses in GE courses, and then they are dragged to the third year of high school and forced to study at one time, which leads to GPA diving. So please pay close attention to the GE curriculum requirements of your respective schools.
The third requirement is to get a professional degree. Whether you are majoring in economics or computer science, you must know clearly what courses you need to complete to get a degree in this major. Then think about how to allocate these courses reasonably to four years. There was once a student who wanted a double degree in mathematics and economics, but found that he missed several advanced courses in economics in senior three, and he couldn't finish them in senior three. In the end, he can only choose to major in mathematics and minor in economics.
The fourth requirement is the GPA requirement for graduation. At this point, I found that there are not many students concerned, or in the minds of some students, they are unlikely to be unable to graduate because of their grades. Of course, there are really very few students who can't graduate on time every year because of GPA. There is nothing wrong with having confidence in yourself, but you should also know the bottom line of the school and make sure that you can't step on it. Why should we understand this bottom line? It is because after you understand it, you will find that the bottom line is not 60 points. In China University, as long as you pass 60 points, the school won't bother you, and the teacher won't bother you, but this is not the case in American universities. The better the school, the higher the GPA requirements for students. Generally speaking, GPA 2.5, that is, an average score of 75, is the bottom line of many top30 schools. So the idea of 60 minutes long live is absolutely impossible in America.
