#3...There are stupid people in the world, be thankful you aren't one of them as you party all night and roll into your Comparative Anatomy final 20 mins late. Laugh as you finish first. Laugh again as when grades are posted you blew the curve with a 140%
Next highest grade 92%.
First thing I have to ask is are you shooting for perfect GPA or something? If so then you probably have to give up all of college to ensure that or take a really light load each semester. Assuming you are in a major that requires one to know things that one can really only get from college/teachers/expensive lab gear.
If you are hedging leveraging that GPA to a perfect grad school...make sure you find out what kind of demographic they really admit. You may be overwhelmed finding out that your peers with equal GPA found time to be pretty active.
If you are thinking a 4.0 will guarantee you a job post-college, you'd be surprized how many don't care about GPA really.
I had a challenging major. Zoology/Chemisty heading to Pharmacy. I was accepted to Pharm college prior to my AA. I partied a ton, got to have a good college experience. My GPA was closer to B than it was to A. However; what I had was A's in almost every core science class. I would fvk up on music appreciation or history here and there. Also almost any class with homework I'd do miserably since I never did it.
I did have to study at times, no one is just born with knowledge of Organic chemistry reactions
