The 4.0 student has a higher chance of being able to succeed because they know how to study and it’s likely they’re more intelligent in general. They might not continue to have a 4.0, but they will do reasonably well. (Someone with a 4.0 who’s never had to study would have problems.)
Barring learning disabilities, I think most people can get a B in at least a few classes. Someone with a 2.0 hasn’t been trying very hard.
