How hard is it to maintain a good gpa?

<p>My son is a Freshman at Pitt. He took Chem 2 (skipped Chem 1 due to taking AP Chem) and taking Honors Biology. He found that even thought he had a strong science back ground, he had to work very hard to get good grades his first semester. It’s very doable, but you do have to work!</p>
