Emory IS 1/3rd Asian and 1/3rd Jewish. If you don’t fall into either of those groups, you might find it to be a bit more difficult to adjust…

As for getting a 3.8+…it’s def. not the easiest thing. I’ve noticed that it seems to depend a lot on what classes you take first semester of freshman year. Those who took their Health, PE, so-called ‘tit’ classes early on got the boost to their GPA. Those who chose difficult electives or core classes early on got bombarded and their GPAs suffered.

It also, sadly, depends on the teachers’ grading systems. Some count 95-100 as an A others count 90-100 as an A, or 93-100 as an A. My microeconomics class allowed 88-100 as an A.
