How hard is it to get a 4.0 being a math major while being pretty intelligent but by no means a math Olympiad? I guess this is a pretty stupid question but I guess I'm asking is it even possible for the average person with enough work.
it would be extremely difficult
How attractive are you, and how good are you at sucking cock?

Hard work won't turn you into Terry Tao, but it sure can guarantee a 4.0
Just do a bunch of problems and exercises, and never fall for the meme of giving up and reading the answers.

It's impossible. Just be happy if you can get the degree.

Ive skipped about 1/3 of each semester, skipping tests and assignments and I still get b's.
Even at a big 10 uni, classes in undergrad are a joke.

You definitely should struggle through a problem if you don't get it but there's a point where it's fine to look at the answer and UNDERSTAND the steps they took to get there.

>he's not taking honors courses at a top 5 uni
I just want to get into med school and be a math major :(
I did it at. It's not even something I set out specifically to do or put a lot of extra attention towards; I just like math and did all of the problem sets.

I was offered a full ride at west point, and other good schools but there's other things more important to me, obviously.

Very easy IF you avoid all the harder courses and take the ones meant for future math teachers and cs majors instead.
Do the work. Do the fucking work. Most people don't do the work.
Try Cal Newport's method.

And to aid in that wait a few hours after reading the answer and try to solve it again with your understanding.
