Huh? For one thing, the 1st and 2nd quarter at Caltech are graded pass/fail. (There are “shadow grades” for the 2nd quarter.)

Second, it’s not really like that at Caltech. They just don’t want students to make a decision about major until they have been exposed to all of the freshman core classes. In fact, I’ve read that CS is, to some extent, considered one of the “easier” majors at Caltech, as far as GPA goes.

GPAs are lower at Caltech than at many schools. It’s probably better if Caltech students are not so concerned about GPA (like not pre-med).
