    I really love science(physics/chem/bio/math) and i think kinesiology(BSc) is the perfect program for me.
    then why does it matter about being top in the class?
    you would rather take something you completely hate, get tired of it after a few semesters, then have your grades drop because you hate it than do something you love?

    you sound like an idiot

    You need to be in the top 10% to get an average above 3.667. It's literally impossible to get a 4.33 average because some courses don't give out A+ at all. High school marks could be a good indicator of how well you'll do in university, but that kind of depends on how you went through high school as well.

    If you need to ask us (most of whom, by the way, have lower grades) how to achieve the GPA, I doubt you'll do as well as you want to. Oh and you'll get bored/tired after a few semesters, pretty much regardless of what you take.

    You also have to get your priorities sorted, are you in it for the education, the letter grade, or the girls? If the former do something you're actually interested in. If the second then do something that fits your skill set, and if the latter then do women's studies (although I guess most of them would look down at you).

    i meant a 4.00 out of 4.33... and yes it is a program that i am geniuenly interested in and it fits my skill set very well.
    well that's an A average, good luck.

    The effort-grade relationship isn't linear, by the time you get into the A range you're in a situation of diminishing returns for your effort.

    Plus, getting good grades in high school means nothing in university. You are coming to a place where the majority of the students did just as well as you in high school. So you are going to have to do better than 90% of you.

    trust me 4.00 is next to impossible unless you give up necessities like sleeping, eating, and fun

    I myself am floating at a 3.7 and im in MBB but im balanced with my other life outside of just school

    4.00 GPA is possible, don't be discouraged. Although a 4.33 average I have never heard of.

    What do you mean by a "professional school"? Are you planning on going to grad school or transferring at any point?
