<p>How hard is it to get over a 3.8 GPA as a transfer student.
Is it impossible? I heard that the grade deflation is bad.</p>

<p>Depends how smart you are.</p>

<p>I think that really depends on you and to a certain degree your major. For example, the chem and bio major tracks here are challenging.</p>

<p>How hard is the Political Science major?</p>

<p>It’s as hard as you make it. The requirements are VERY open; you can finish it in two years with a 3.8+ if you take the easy classes. But there are also a lot of very good upper level courses that are challenging that will give you a lot more knowledge than the basic major outline requires.</p>

<p>If you’re careful about choosing the right major/classes, it’s not hard at all.</p>

<p>Not to say that some routes to a high GPA aren’t easier than others, but if it is so easy why do less than 10% of students at UNC have GPA’s over 3.8?</p>

<p>It’s tough. Totally depends on your major/the classes you take and how psycho/genius you are.</p>

<p>It’s much harder in some areas than others (engineering and the sciences, plus some language classes). And many UNC students are lazy.</p>
