Would a 3.7 be good?
Agreed. If you don't have this, you need a gap year to recuperate
Don't forget about a publication in Nature or New England Journal of Medicine during the gap year.Agreed. If you don't have this, you need a gap year to recuperate
Depends where you are, honestly. Some places, 4.0 is cake. Some places, getting an A as a freshman makes you the jealous of everyone's moms and grandmas.On a serious note, try your best. I would say shoot for >3.8.
Or progressively go up as you gun harderThere is no such thing as target freshman GPA. You get what you get in your classes based on your effort and habits. I suggest you always try hard to reach 4.0 (all A's). Don't think even for a second that "I have 4 A's so I can slack off in this class and get a B+ so my cGPA is 3.8". Wrong attitude especially because classes will get significantly harder as you move up and your GPA will progressively go down.
You sound very brown (indian), correct me if I am wrong, from the other posts I have read. Your witty responses and superior personality seem to rub that way on me atleastOr progressively go up as you gun harder

your classes WILL get harder. the sooner you start respecting that, the more you will learn.I think I guess what you guys are saying. But I don't think my classes will get harder. I can tackle any science class because I love science. I am taking writing this semester >( ME NO LIKE WRITING!!
Trust me when I say they will get harder. The reason may not be the actual class if you are a genius but other things that eat away your time (i.e. research, volunteering, shadowing, clubs, bars/parties/movies with friends, study for mcat, senioritis....list goes on)I think I guess what you guys are saying.
