<p>For the second semester in a row, our little home town of 20,000 had more students on the list than any other city in Illinois, with the next closest city, Springfield, having two less. :-)</p>
<p>Son made Dean’s List. Has a 3.892 overall GPA (3.871 earned at UA). From reading around, I see that President’s List means all As. LOL, not sure that’s ever gonna happen for DS. His Greek professor is a really hard grader, and he’s taking very advanced courses in both Greek and Latin. </p>
<p>But 3.89 is great, and I’m very proud of him. Proud of all our UA kids. Congrats!!</p>
<p>I’ll hazard a guess. Even though the freshman class was over 50% OOS, I think the overall in-state percentage is still over 60%. It’s probably going to be coming down every year, though.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all the students on the list!</p>
<p>Congrats to all those students on the Dean’s list and President’s list! DS named to President’s list for the 4th semester in a row! Can’t believe it’s been 4 semesters. Time really does fly! Enjoy it parents! ROLL TIDE!</p>
<p>Two girls DS knows made the President’s List. When he told me about this, I said, nonchalantly (NOT trying to be Tiger Mom-ish, really!!!): “Well, that gives you something to aspire to.” His response: “Nah, I like girls who are smarter than I am.” Gaaah.</p>
<p>I think DH needs to give him a pep-talk, lol. Recently we vacationed back in my home state of Massachusetts. DS was really enamored of the Boston-Cambridge area; now he wants to go to law school there. Perhaps that will serve as an incentive spurring him to strive for his personal best (e.g., not waiting till the last minute to study for the Greek mid-term).</p>
<p>But, OK, now I am being way too Tiger Mom-ish. Mea culpa!!!</p>
