Common questions
What GPA do I need for the Dean's List?
Most schools set Dean's List between 3.5 and 3.7 for the semester, with a minimum credit load (often 12+ graded credits). It's a semester GPA, not cumulative — one strong term can make the list even in a rebuilding year. Your school's exact cutoff will be published by the registrar.
Is a 3.5 GPA good?
On the standard 4.0 scale, 3.5 sits between an A- and B+ average — comfortably above the typical US college average (around 3.1) and competitive for most graduate programs, internships and scholarships, though the most selective programs skew 3.7+. Trend matters too: an upward trajectory reads better than a flat one.
