How difficult is it to get a 4.0?

<p>Near impossible. University medalists often don’t even have 4.0s, and they are the BEST students. Only a mere few get a 4.0 throughout college. </p>

<p>In humanities courses a professor only gives a small minority straight A’s because nobody’s writing is perfect. And trust me, professors usually have something to critique.</p>

<p>I’d say 3.8 is really quite good. 4.0 is practically impossible unless you are either like a University Medalist–even though many have only 3.9s cough–or you take 2 classes a semester.</p>
