Most undergrads have no idea where they will end up in life. I certainly could not have predicted the graduate programs I considered - none of them having anything to do with my EECS major.

Getting poor (or even average) grades closes many doors, especially in these days of grade inflation (at many, but not all schools).

Fair point. I had a plan and thought I roughly knew the requirements. I can see how students who are more exploratory would need to be more careful.
