<p>I think that’s too vague to answer generally, but some majors (pre-med, engineering) are more competitive than others. As for maintaining a high gpa, getting into a routine and figuring out how to allocate your time studying (ie not wasting too much time on HW that is 5% of your grade). Also, I found getting sleep prior to exams was really helpful and gave me an advantage over my classmates lol. </p>
<p>The philosophy I adopted was to be prepared for an exam 24 hours in advance. So if an exam was on a Thursday, I would study hard Tuesday night…worse came to worst, I’d go to office hours on Wednesday…</p>
<p>I think all in all maintaining a high GPA isn’t too difficult if you don’t over-commit to outside activities and put a decent amount of time into your studies.</p>
