3.9 in Amherst College

Is it hard to get 3.9 in Amherst college? I heard that although professors are very easily reachable and they are highly willing to help but they say it is very hard to get A’s. I know that every colleges are hard to get good grades but is it really hard to get A’s in Amherst college especially?

It depends on how smart you are and the amount of effort you put in.
