I know many people who dropped out of a science curriculum and got much better grades when they did. I have never once seen it happen the other way around. I am sure that when BRC dropped physics her GPA went up.

At the school I went to, the introductory science classes were murderous because the science faculty did not want to have people who weren't going to major in the subjects taking upper level courses. And there were the pre-meds, a cutthroat bunch. The humanities faculty were happy to have people from other majors in their upper level courses, and saw no need to weed people out. Grades are an artifact of the system that produces them, not a measure of intrinsic merit.
