I think there's a certain category. I was an A and C student depending on how useful I expected a course to be. I also took much harder courses than my peers and social engineered my way into honors classes (I sucked at calculus, but this journal filled with abstract algebra I did for funsies says I can probably do honors analysis of algorithms). I think my in-major GPA ended up over a full point higher than my general GPA.
