I'm an engineering sophomore an Ivy, and I'm starting to realize that I'm not nearly as intelligent as I thought I was. I went to an average high school, where I didn't struggle at all, and graduated at the very top of my class. I am a completely mediocre student here though -- I'm really struggling to get Bs and Cs, and I always end up barely at the mean at best on my tests. I feel like I never learnt how to study in high school, and now when I really need to, I can't do it properly. I also feel like everyone I know is more intelligent than me, and it's completely demoralizing when you study your ass off to get a 43 on a test.

I'm completely discouraged and disappointed in myself as an academic failure. I want to get into med school, but it's not really viable with a sub 3.0 gpa. I'm depressed when I think about my future prospects. Please, reddit, how can I get my life back together?
