<p>You can get over a 3.0; no, it’s not impossible, and no, you won’t waste away all your free time studying. I won’t say it’s “easy” to get a straight A…it requires some effort, keeping up with reading, etc. Even with 2 science classes last semester, being involved in several clubs, and the whole first semester transitioning thing, I still made dean’s list (<3.0), and I’m doing better this semester. The whole key is balancing your time, and being willing to put in a reasonable amount of time to study and prep for class.</p>
