"Good" College Report Required?

Hi All,
I am wondering how to get a good dean’s recommendation, as I do not really know my dean. Does this part of the application matter? Thanks!

They just want to know that you’re in good academic standing.

@mjr2013 thanks! I must ask, though, what is the point of this if one has made dean’s list (or similar honors)? Wouldn’t that signal that you are indeed in good standing?

In past semesters yes. They want to know your “current” standing however. Plus not all college’a post deans list on the transcript, so they would want it from a college official
