<p>Go for the highest GPA you can without it interfering with your quality of life (eg, if you’re studying miserably 5 hours a day to get that B up to an A, it’s NOT worth it).</p>
<p>If you have a 4.0 in college you’re taking the wrong classes/at the wrong college. If you’re never asked to do something outside of your abilities, you’re not being pushed hard enough and will never realize your full potential. A 4.0 is a bad thing.</p>
<p>GregoryMitchell-that may be how Psych is at your school, but that doesn’t mean that’s how it is at every college in the US. You can’t really generalize stuff like that, especially since there are SO many different colleges, and each one is bound to have a different “soft” major depending upon the students and the professors involved.</p>
<p>And you really shouldn’t judge something you don’t know. If you’re not a psych major, you don’t know. period. I don’t care how many friends you know that are psych majors or how many test scores you look at.</p>
