<p>I'm just curious. I thought it was a 3.5 all over the place but I guess not.</p>
<p>What about for your school?</p>
<p>My school doesn’t have a dean’s list! I was surprised, I thought everybody did.</p>
<p>For us, Dean’s List = a GPA in the top third.</p>
<p>Dean’s List w/ Distinction = a GPA in the top 10%.</p>
<p>My last school it was 3.5, but it has to be all college level credits.</p>
<p>I thought when %s started to play a roll that was Cum Lade stuff</p>
<p>No dean’s list here. Grades are used for a couple honors, though. The top 20% of students according to number of A’s per term attended graduate Magna cum Laude. The very top students can get into Phi Beta Kappa junior or senior year based on their transcript with a unanimous vote from the prior year’s inductees. The GPA to be considered as a junior works out to be roughly 3.9, and “only” a 3.82 as a senior.</p>
<p>It’s either students with a GPA above 3.5 or the top 10%, whichever group has fewer students in it.</p>
<p>At my community college, you need to have a 4.0. I had a 4.0 GPA my first semester, but then when it dropped to a 3.8 the following semester because of my C grade in Chemistry, I was no longer on the Dean’s list.</p>
<p>At Smith, it’s a 3.3333 average after 24 credits (full-time students) or 16 credits (part-time students).</p>
<p>don’t know nor care,
deans list is useless anyways</p>
<p>Above 3.6, calculated every semester for full-time students.</p>
<p>The university I’m starting at divides it by specific colleges within the university; for the college of arts & letters, it’s a 3.786, whereas others are 3.667 or 3.750.</p>
<p>They’re altered every year to reflect the top 30% of the last year, but they stay pretty stable, generally only fluctuating by a hundredth or two.</p>
<p>3.5 and above. 3.0 is honor roll</p>
<p>85% with 27 credits or more</p>
<p>27 credits = 9 courses in one year</p>
<p>cornell, college of arts and sciences

<p>And at Cornell CALS it’s less stringent. All one needs is at least a 3.5, no grade worse than a S or C-, and some other college technicalities.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr doesn’t have a dean’s list; we don’t have honor societies either. There’s a culture of not talking about grades in general. Not too long ago the student body passed a resolution asking the administration not to announce Latin honors at graduation, with 2/3 majority. (The administration declined the request.)</p>
<p>University of Idaho: 3.5, no grade worse than C. (No plus-minuses there)</p>
<p>Why would you not want Latin Honors announced?</p>
<p>In high school academics was the last thing anyone (the school included) gave a **** about. It was nice to get SOME recognition after working your butt off for 4a years. I’d like the sane in college.</p>
<p>I also find it interesting that there is no real correlation between the Deans List and how good the college is. Its just all over the place.</p>
<p>3.5+ with 12+ hours for Dean’s List, 4.0 with 12+ hours for President’s List.</p>
