> It may be the result of the competitiveness of the education system. Everything is more competitive. As I understand things, CS is the hottest undergraduate major right now. Hardly. Looking at the Swedish admissions statistics[1] from this year (because that's what I'm familiar with): - Of the top 5 programmes, 3 were for physicians (doctors), with the required GPA ranging 22.09-22.29 - The hardest engineering programme to get into was no. 8, technical physics, requiring 21.98 - The hardest computer-related programme to get into was no. 56, software engineering, requiring 20.73 That said, it was above 20.0 (straight As), so the requirements do seem to have increased in the last few years [1]: https://statistik.uhr.se/uhr.html https://statistik.uhr.se/uhr.html, to see applications to programmes based on high school GPAs you'll want to pick "Bara program", "Urval 1", and then set "Visa urvalsgrupp" to "BI". You'll want to sort by "Antagningspoäng".
