<p>Above a 3.8? Above a 3.7?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>yah, i don't want to be the bottom of the best either</p>
<p>I don't know that there is any way to calculate the numbers across all of the colleges at Cornell, but I believe that making Dean's List for your college means that you are in the top 10%. I'm not sure what the cut offs are currently, but not too long ago, you would make Dean's List in CALS with a 3.5ish GPA.</p>
<p>What is the gpa required to graduate cum laude? Word on the street is that if you graduate cum laude that is the top 30%.</p>
<p>Not all of the colleges at Cornell offer cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude.</p>
<p>Ya, just graduation with honors for those ones (and dean's list if that matters).</p>
<p>Different departments have different requirements for graduating w/ honors. For bio, you have to maintain a certain GPA + conduct extensive research, write a dissertation, and defend it in front of a comittee.</p>
<p>I read about ILR's a while ago - It's a giant research and research paper thing.</p>
