Your friend is making excuses… Humanities are damn time-consuming and the curves are not helpful at all (I got B+'s on my history GE’s even though I got 85-ish on the exams and low 90-ish on the papers). The grading is also very subjective, you don’t even know why you lose points! If I studied the humanities I would’ve got <3.0…

I’m engineering major and I have 3.86. Engineering upper divs are more curved. Do better than your peers you get A. Having difficult materials doesn’t mean that it’s difficult to get a good grade.

As for the average GPA, I have no idea, but I think 2.7 sounds too low. Perhaps around 3.0 to 3.2?
