Like other people stated, the 4.0 goal is a bit unrealistic and I will tell you why.

Grades are not 100% based on how hard you work, there is always a 20% that can be affected by luck, unreasonable instructors, underestimating the difficulty of a course and other factors that may be beyond your control.

I have taken quite a few classes where getting an A was extremely hard, perhaps only given to the top 5%.

I think a 3.0 GPA would be a more realistic goal, yet I know quite a few bright students who just went under 3 this semester sometimes due to taking more courses than they could handle.
