A Dean’s List is an academic award, or notation, used to recognize the màn chơi of high scholarship demonstrated by students in a college or university. It is often synonymous with honor roll and honor list, but should not be confused with honours degrees.

Generally, students enrolled in college or university would need to lớn satisfy a series of specific requirements before receiving the Dean’s List. These requirements may differ across institutions, but in most cases will require students to lớn enroll in a full-time capacity, to achieve a specific grade point average within the academic term, and to maintain a specific cumulative sầu grade point average throughout enrollment.

Dean’s List is an honorary roll assigned to the top students. As the Dean’s List is generally awarded khổng lồ the top few percentile of students, the GPA cut-off lớn get onto the Dean’s List varies across faculties và academic semesters. If I were to give sầu a ballpark estimate, your GPA has lớn be at least 3.6/4.0 or 4.5/5.0 (average of A- và A for all subjects) lớn be considered for the Dean’s List. If it is a highly competitive semester where everyone scored very well, the cut-off will be higher.

(For those of you in the United States, your college grade point (GPA) is based on a total of 4.0. In Singapore, the universities use Cumulative sầu Average Point (CAP) which is based on a total of 5.0. For the rest of this series, I’ll refer to lớn the CAP system which is upon 5.0.)

When I was studying in the National University of Singapore, I was on the Dean’s List for all 3 academic years of my studies. The NUS Business School is a competitive faculty (it’s a leading business school in Singapore & the Asia Pacific region), with students from top junior colleges and scholars from the neighboring countries, so it was an accomplishment khổng lồ be on the danh sách. I graduated in 2006 as the top student in my specialization of Marketing. In my graduation year, I was given awards for being the most outstanding student.

6 Benefits to Get on the Dean’s List

This means if all your peers are top scorers, you have khổng lồ score even better qualify for the Dean’s List.

Many top employers use GPA as a preliminary criteria to shortdanh mục candidates during campus recruitment, though there are exceptions if you have sầu a svào portfolio và strong leadership involvement in core curricular activities.Exclusive sầu access to top employers. Top companies often hold recruitment events on campus. There are the recruitment seminars for the student cohort, và then there are exclusive sầu networking sessions for selected students. The HR in top companies commonly request the Dean’s Office to lớn invite students that have a minimum GPA of X.XX. Examples are Procter và Gamble (my ex-company), McKinsey, investment banks, và consulting firms.Being on the Dean Office’s radar. When you are on the Dean’s List, people in the dean’s office và university career office tover to lớn know you. After all, there are hundreds of students in the faculty, and only a small handful are on the Dean’s List. This is useful for random situations, say when you want to get the inside scope on what’s going on, information on upcoming events, or just khổng lồ have someone to lớn talk to about university matters.Prestige & recognition.

As the board would put up the names of people on the Dean’s List on the university trang web và on school notice board, students who read it generally know who you are, at least by name.
