I don’t know the source of this, but maybe this will help:

It obviously depends on an individual basis, so for me personally getting above a 3.0 is pretty easy. I think it amounts to doing your reading, homework, and practicing/studying for midterms and you should be fine, but everyone is different.

Like for me maintaining around a 3.5 means I have to put in effort and I’ve managed to do that after ramping up my studying (but I like what I study so it’s ok), but for others a 3.5 comes easily and for them maintaining a 4.0 is their goal.

Everyone is different right?

PS: I’m an EECS major just in case you wanted to know. Just make sure you don’t overload on technical classes. Some kids can handle that but most can’t, so sticking to only 2-3 technical classes a semester (in addition to some humanities class(es)) helps with GPAs I think. But once again I have friends with 4-5 technical courses a semester who can handle that. It’s really hard for someone else to know what works for you imo.
