<p>There are certain courses where it’s very hard to get an A, so it really depends upon what courses you take. Take math 230 - about 60 students started out in Sept and by Nov there were only around 20 left. Most dropped it to take easier math classes, citing their gpa as the reason. But those who remained really wanted to be challenged and learn something they never would in the lower math classes. Taking a hit on their gpa was secondary to their desire to learn. Bravo to them.</p>
