<p>Think about it this way. If you are able to meet the challenge in one tough class inn your major and get a solid “A”, it’s likely you will be able to do it in other classes. That, of course, assumes that some required electives don’t assess skills that may be weaknesses (thermo may be tough for some bio majors if they aren’t good at physics/math.)</p>
<p>Some people, though, may get a 5.0 in the classes they need to graduate, but may further challenge themselves by taking other tough classes and may lower their GPA.</p>
