DEAN'S LIST

Se llama Dean's List a la relación honorífica de alumnos que se hace en muchas universidades estadounidenses al final de cada año académico o al final de la carrera. En algunas universidades para figurar en ella se ha de haber obtenido A o B en todas las asignaturas, aunque normalmente la lista se basa en la nota media, conocida como grade-point average. Los estudiantes que han recibido la máxima puntuación, A, en todo, aparecen a veces en otra lista, llamada scholars' list o president's list. En algunas escuelas también publican listas similares, conocidas como honor roll.
