I did note that accounting is a weed out major. Many programs require between a 2.5 and 3.0 overall GPA in their freshmen college year in order to even get into accounting. In addition, you usually have to graduate with a 2.5 in accounting subjects. This should be contrasted with majors in arts and sciences,which normally only require a GPA of 2.0 to graduate.

Moreover, don't forget that accounting grades are usually not subject to inflation. It is hard to get A's. Even B's aren't that easy to come by.
