<p>At my college, the students with the highest GPAs are usually math majors. This past year, 4/10 students graduating summa cum laudae were math majors.</p>
<p>The good and at the same time bad thing about math and physical sciences is general is that there are clear-cut right and wrong answers. I would say it’s easier to get an A in math than say in English (how often do you write a “perfect” paper?), but it’s also easier to flunk an exam than it is to flunk a paper.</p>
<p>I guess it really depends on your college and your abilities.</p>
