Is it even impressive to be on the dean's list (as a first year) if everyone I know is probably also on the list?
I woke up this morning and received an email saying I "have been named a Dean’s List Scholar in the Faculty of Arts & Science for the 2026 academic year." For a second I was happy, but then I remembered that almost all my friends have a cgpa of 3.5 or above. So then, what I did isn't impressive, is it?
Is being on the dean's list as a first year just the standard now? I feel like it'd be a lot more impressive if you are graduating and is on the dean's list, but like as a first year is this a trivial matter or something I can brag to my parents about type of thing.
What are y'all's thoughts on this? I'd love to hear from the community on this.
