Here is my caution to all considering doing both - Please focus on school first! I have seen athletes that have moved away to college, cheer for their school and all-star and then their grades suffer. I'm all for getting in the gym as much as possible but please focus on grades! Rings won't feed your kids, degrees will!
And C's may get degrees, but C's don't get jobs! I was asked several times what my GPA was when applying for jobs, it's important!!
And grad school. For the program I went into, if you don't have at least a 3.8, it's extremely difficult to get into really any credible school in the country. I would definitely recommend taking it easy your first year to make sure you can handle everything.And C's may get degrees, but C's don't get jobs!

Not from Georgia Tech. You don't get a GPA. You get a checkmark that you graduated.
Haha, engineering schools have terrible GPAs. I think the school average is a 2.5 or something.
We were always graded on a curve. Plenty of people still get As, but an A might be the equivalent of a 65 on an exam, haha.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude :P

I was sitting around with some friends the week before graduation and they were discussing how they were graduating Cum Laude but missed Magna Cum Laude by this amount, or how they were graduating Summa Cum Laude. I told them I was graduating. Period, end of sentence. And I was happy about it.I graduated. I'm happy.

If you want it and are willing to work for it, go for it! I graduated summa from a southern engineering institution much finer than the one @king speaks of :wasntme: while traveling the country competing almost every weekend year round in a different sport. I was a dedicated student though, every bit as much as I was a dedicated athlete. It was exactly the same for me as the high school/high level sports lifestyle though. If you succeed now, you should do well then. I was not into the social scene outside of my sport much, although I did pledge and participate in a sorority. My sport came first then and comes only behind my family now, as I now make my living as a professional athlete.
