I’ll have to admit those numbers are daunting norcalguy but I do believe that if admitted to CAS, which requires about 1/3 of humanities courses, which are shown to have really high median grades… it would be pretty manageable to get a respectable gpa in the 3.6+ range even with some challenging hard science courses.
For the hard science courses in particular are professors really out to lower grades? My perception is that as long as the heavy course work is managed sweet grades will follow.
