Actually the context is missing but in a kinda different way. Berkeley CS has about 2000-2200 students in 61A each semester, and an average grade of B+ (3.33). Students need a 3.33 average in 61A and two other classes, 61B and 70. However, most students don't take the other courses ("Only" 1750 and 750 this semester in each of those). Cal requires 61A for other majors too (Cognitive science, data science) so a lot of students take that class but don't take others. In essence, Im agreeing with you, but just being a little different semantically.
