<p>Does Dean's list go by semester or cumulative GPA? I also heard recently that Dean's list goes by the college - so different colleges have different criteria.</p>
<p>Semester, I believe. And yes, they are different for each college because they are “dean’s” (and each college has a different “dean”). I’m not sure if the actual requirements are different for each college, but I know the message they send you letting you know you got it is from each different college.</p>
<p>Are there any advantages about being on the dean’s list? (aside from gaining recognition for your good grades - which is enough, but just thought I’d ask)</p>
<p>Something to put on the resume.</p>
<p>Yeah, I added it to my resume. I think one person mentioned it when they were reading it over, but I doubt they knew what it meant. Like if you are on the dean’s list, your gpa will be high- which they care a lot more about than the list.</p>
