| I concluded that the average GPA was around 3.6-3.7 because most people I met who majored in political science had GPAs of around that or even higher. This GPA wasn't common in my science class though. You pick what you study but it is incontestable that some subject matter is harder than others. I find some science classes easier than my history or political class- yes but I find out that if I put the amount of work into political science classes that I put into say organic chemistry- I was always guaranteed an A while organic chemistry was a B+ |
