Hello,
I am aiming to keep a 3.9 gpa throughout college but I may receive a B in a lab class I'm taking right now, and have already received a B+ as well as 2 A- grades from my freshman year, all in chemistry/physics classes. But, I'm at a UC which uses quarter system, so I take more classes in a year than a semester student. Is it easier to raise your GPA when you're taking more classes in a year, since there are more opportunities to get A's? Or is this not really true? I heard this from a friend who is on semester system but I find it hard to believe.
