RE: getting a good gpa thread

<p>The majors I am planning to take are either communications, international studies or management science. Would any of these majors increase my chances of obtaining a better gpa? or are all these majors really competitive?</p>

<p>Generally, social science fields use absolute grading, not a set curve that limits the number of A’s and so on. If you know the material you should be able to get an A/A-. Some curve-breaker kid won’t be able to spoil your GPA, which can happen in the hard sciences. So to answer your questions, yeah, they would help your chances of getting a good GPA.</p>

<p>I just have to caution you, though. There’s more to college than your GPA.</p>

<p>what do you mean by that? The only thing I heard from others is that the college environment impacts your performance</p>

<p>What do I mean by what?</p>
