<p>I think Drew is 3.4, but I have to check with my son to be sure.
I read Stonehill is 3.5 online while checking them out recently.</p>
<p>The university my S attends takes the top 20% for Dean’s but the GPA varies per college. Fall semester his 3.7 didn’t put him in the top 20% of his college but he’s hoping a 3.9 might get him there for the next semester. </p>
<p>It amazes me that he can’t assume he will be on it with that average and that such stellar work in a highly competitive program doesn’t get the Dean’s list. Like NHS I have begun to take the Dean’s list with a grain of salt - the standards vary so wildly. In some programs a 3.4 would qualify nearly every student.</p>
<p>University of Rochester is 3.4 for at least 16 credits, 12 of which must be letter grades (P/F is OK for the final 4 - most courses at Rochester are 4 credits). No incompletes or fail in the P/F course.</p>
<p>Bates: 3.67
CMU (SCS): 3.75

Rice (President’s Honor Roll): 3.83
Smith: 3.3
Stonehill: 3.5
UChicago: 3.25
URochester: 3.4
Vanderbilt: 3.5

<p>Just realized after reading this thread that S1 who just graduated magna cum laude did not make the Dean’s List in his final semester of college (after being on it all the way through) because of his five courses taken in Spring, two (PE classes) were pass/fail which his school doesn’t count toward Dean’s List hours. The other three classes didn’t add up to enough credit hours to qualify. The funny thing is that he is a tremendous athlete and didn’t make Dean’s List because of PE. Don’t know why he took it P/F…not that it matters. His diploma was just delivered to our doorstep this week…yah, it’s official.</p>
<p>Northwestern–School of Communication: 3.75 minimum.</p>
<p>WUSTL - Arts & Sciences 3.5 (minimum 14 credit hours)</p>
<p>Courses are generally 3 credit hours, so if you only take 4 classes instead of the usual 5 you aren’t eligible for Dean’s List, regardless of grades. This happened to my son in at least 3 semesters. He had extensive AP credits, so opted to take some 4 class semesters, and use the P/F option (students allowed to take 8 over 4 years, or the equivalent of 1 per semester) in others. He got terrific grades in those 4 graded classes, but not enough graded credits to qualify for Dean’s List.</p>
<p>Virginia Tech is a 3.4 (minimum of 12 cr hours)</p>
<p>Tcnj 3.5
rpi 3.0</p>
<p>My daughter passed 12 credit hours @4.0 for semester but shows her overal GPA @3.725. So does ECU go by the 4.0 or 3.725. Did she make Dean’s or President’s List?</p>
<p>Elon - Dean’s List - minimum 3.4 with no grade lower than B-, minimum 12 credits
President’s List - no grade below A-, minimum 12 credits
(W, P/F not included)</p>
<p>Lafayette - Dean’s List - 3.6 or higher, minimum of 3 classes</p>
<p>ECUMom…your D will be on the President’s List. It’s based on semester gpa not cumulative gpa. Congrats to your D for a great semester.</p>
<p>My S2 is also an ECU student. ECU’s minimum for Dean’s List is 3.5 (at least 12 hours w/ no grade less than c). S2’s gpa this sem. was 3.461…soo close! He got an 89 in PE and the instructor wouldn’t give him one point to make it an A…ugh
Oh well, we’re still very proud of him.</p>
<p>Adding two to the top</p>

<p>Berkeley has the most rigorous standards that I have seen. For the past 6 years, the GPA requirements have been as follows (note 4.0 in Spring '09): [Dean’s</a> Honor List-Introduction](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/honorlist/intro.html]Dean’s”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/honorlist/intro.html)</p>
<p>At my kids’ school…</p>
<p>Dean’s List…3.5+ </p>
<p>President’s List…4.0…all A’s.</p>
<p>On a slightly different note…</p>
<p>At your schools, what does it take to graduate…</p>
<p>Summa Cum Laude
Magna Cum Laude
Cum Laude</p>
<p>Is it the same everywhere?</p>
<p>At my kids’ school…</p>
<p>Summa cum laude. Students graduating with degrees designated summa cum laude shall have maintained grade point averages of 3.9 or higher for all college-level work and for all work attempted at the University . </p>
<p>Magna cum laude. Students graduating with degrees designated magna cum laude shall have maintained grade point averages of 3.7 or higher, but less than 3.9, for all college-level work and for all work attempted at the University .</p>
<p>Cum laude. Students graduating with degrees designated cum laude shall have maintained grade point averages of 3.5 or higher, but less than 3.7, for all college-level work and for all work attempted at the University .</p>
<p>In computing the grade point average, the minimum required averages of 3.9, 3.7, and 3.5 cannot be achieved by rounding. Averages are calculated for performance in all courses in which the student is enrolled prior to receiving the degree.</p>
<p>At UMW, it’s 3.5 for Dean’s List and 4.0 for President’s List (minimum of 12 credit hours).</p>
<p>Summa Cum Laude - 3.75
Magna Cum Laude - 3.5
Cum Laude - 3.25</p>
<p>At East Carolina University
Summa -3.9
Magna-3.6
Cum-3.5</p>
<p>At NC State University
Summa-3.75
Magna-3.5
Cum-3.25</p>
<p>UW-Madison- varies. Lower gpa for freshmen in L&S, then much higher. So the second semester a student may jump from freshman status and therefore need a higher gpa than another first year student without AP credits (3.75, 3.85??? with A, AB, B, BC… grading). So much more than a gpa- choosing the number of credits, the level of course difficulty, taking courses outside of requirements… One AB in a course totally outside of field related to major could take one off the Dean’s List. I would rather my child went outside of his comfort zone than just get the A’s. Better to be that math/science major taking upper level courses with Lit et al majors in their field and get a lesser grade. No S, M, C Laude degrees- various Honors designations instead. I believe there are “with distinction” for high gpa’s overall and in the major which are lesser than Honors as well. Honors credit can be earned in courses at all levels in all majors in L&S, it is not just a set of introductory courses. Other UW schools/colleges- varies as well.</p>
<p>This is for Cal Poly San Luis Obispo:</p>

<p>The President’s List is compiled at the end of each university year to recognize those undergraduate students who have demonstrated consistent achievement, as represented by being named on the Dean’s Honors List for any three of the four quarters of the university year. The university year begins with summer quarter. </p>
<p>Candidates for bachelor’s degrees with Cal Poly grade point averages indicated below will be awarded honors at graduation. The GPA is officially calculated at the time the student has completed graduation requirements and will be noted on the student’s official transcript. </p>
<p>The three honors categories are as follows: </p>
<p>Summa cum laude - 3.85 Cal Poly cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude - 3.70 Cal Poly cumulative GPA
