<p>I know the only the top 10% of full time students of each UTD school are qualified to be in university Dean's List but I am curious to know the approximate GPA to be in for each school. My son has 4.0 GPA for 2 semesters and he was in the list in those semesters. Last semester, he got 3.8 and he missed it.
What's your highest semester GPA and you are not in.</p>
<p>Sounds about right. The only time I didnt make it was when I got 1 A-. I think my semester gpa was around 3.94 that semester </p>
<p>WOW - So one A- and you are off the Dean’s list. Was that Org. Chemistry ?</p>
<p>Yep. It was in CV goverment my 1st semester of freshmen year.
Organic chem wasnt so hard for me to get an A since 80 was the cutoff for an A</p>
Lemme guess. Dr. Dow?
Wow as well! My older DD is at Pitt, majoring in CE, and has made Deans list every semester with a cumulative 3.65. How do so many students get a 4.0? I know this is an old thread, is this still the case. Is there a lot of rounding up and if so, is it consistent within the dept.? If not, teacher selection becomes more important and unfortunately decisions will be made on the easiest grader vs the better teacher.
The semesters my daughter didn’t make Dean’s List were when she got an A-. She managed to get through all of college with nothing lower than an A-, but any semester she got one knocked her off of the Dean’s List.
She had Dr. Dow for a CV Constitution class.
Ok. I’ll have to let my DD know. For other reasons, she needs to keep a 3.5. This will give her something to aim for.
It pretty much depends on which school a student is in. There’s a slight variation among the schools. With JSOM, 4 or 5 As and 1 A- seem to be the minimum.
Is it that high for CS?
There have been people with 3.8x who have gotten on the dean’s list in ECS. Don’t know how common that is.
@getoveritnow, thanks for the info. She will just have to do the best that she can.
