How hard is the workload academically?

<p>I just got accepted into Pepperdine yesterday and im really ecstatic because it was one of the two schools I really felt like the best fit for me. I consider myself a good student, I had a overall 3.8 GPA in high school with a 4.5 junior year and a 4.8 senior year (before that i wasn't focused, really stupid and immature). I need a very high GPA of 3.8+ to get into the grad schools i want. How hard is it to get A's at Pepperdine assuming im willing to put in the time and effort, not get distracted by partying and really just focus on school? Are there many classes that are just impossible to ace no matter how hard you try? How often will you come across a class that requires you study astronomical hours outside of class? What is the workload like? How many students you do know with 4.0's or close to 4.0's at Pepperdine? How difficult are the GE classes? </p>
