<p>How difficult is it to get a really good GPA (~3.8 or so) at UCR?</p>
<p>A 3.8 is never easy but it's certainly doable if you really work hard enough. In most UCR majors a 3.8 would probably put you around the top 5% of your graduating class, which means that you'll have to outperform 95% of your classmates. Easy? No. Possible? Definitely.</p>
