Glad to see Mechanical Engineering and Product Design so well represented on the current Stanford team. Go Card!
Ryan Arata: 4.03 GPA mechanical engineer at Stanford… Let that sink in
I would feel pretty bad to be that 1 of 22 to not make it. Until I remembered that I was at Stanford and still stayed eligible (I assume).
