Son did you see the courses some of these guys were taking? Not exactly rocket science.
I mean, there is a hierarchy for major difficulty. Ask around your university or google it. Companies know and Grad/law/med schools know that a 3.5 in certain majors is harder to attain than a 3.5 in other majors. I mean I'd expect a fine arts or English major to have a higher GPA then an Accounting or Aerospace Engineering major. Different schools also have different difficulty reputations. Some schools are notorious for inflating grades, again common knowledge.
A good indicator to see how difficult your major or class is is to compare your GPA with the general population in the same major/class. If your at a good 4 year university and 40% of the students have a 3.0 or higher, your major/class is probably is easy. If your at a good 4 year university and the average in your major/class is a 2.5 then your major/class is probably hard.
You need to realize the difference between getting an A where 30% the students get As in the class and getting an A where 7/200 students get an A.
Again, I'm not trying to discredit anyone in this post. My response to the question is directed more at the guys who feel their GPA is low compared to others in this thread. You need to compare yourself to your peers not NT.
