<p>I am thinking about going to occidental next year but heard that its really hard to get As there. Can a current student there comment on how hard it is to get a 4.0 (or abouts) at Oxy?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>i heard no one really does hardcore to get As</p>
<p>more like they try to "enjoy" their college experience..</p>
<p>i'd like to know how hard/easy it is to get As tho..</p>
<p>I don't know the answer, but I kinda think that this isn't a rural High School, where you need 4.0 to get into a good college. Grad/professional schools are aware of how demanding or not various colleges are, and adjust there expectation accordingly. It's also important to have good recommendations and possibly research/clinical experience and GRE/MCAT scores.</p>
