<p>When applying for jobs, is it detrimental for an applicant to not have Dean's List accomplishments on their resumes? I don't think I have a bad GPA at all (it's definitely above a 3.3, but my school has ridiculous requirements (you need at least a 3.8 to qualify for Dean's List for a semester).</p>
<p>I have seen (literally) thousands of resumes in my long life and never, nerver, ever, not even once do I recall seeing any mention of Dean's List on a resume. If it was there, I guess I ignored it.</p>
<p>I don't think it will be detrimental as long as the other aspects in your resume are strong.</p>
<p>The general rule for resumes, and I am not sure where I heard this as a general rule is that you shouild omit Deans list from your resume. You should consider , however, place your ending GPA on your resume IF you get at least a 3.4 or better. Graduating with honors such as Magna or Summa is always nice to be able to have on a resume.</p>
<p>As a professional recruiter who has reviewed more resumes than I ever wanted to - don't list Dean's list. List your GPA if it's good (over 3.3) and any cum laude honors. Don't list a bad GPA! You are better off just omitting it completely.</p>
<p>I would agree that listing Dean's list is not necessary. You don't even have to put your final GPA on your resume. If you will be applying for a job that requires a college degree, you will likely be asked to send your transcripts. As a note...when the time comes, if anyone does inquire about your GPA, I would suggest that you not say "my school has ridiculous requirements" to explain anything about your grades or GPA. Just my humble opinion...and I know that wasn't part of your original question.</p>
<p>I totally agree with taxguy, fredo, and thumper here. The transcript will say everything. A 3.3 is great! It also shows you weren't using the college years as one long part.</p>
