It's that time of year again. The Dean's List has graced it's presence throughout the Sacred Heart University campus and all of the hard working students have finally been recognized for their achievement.
Each semester a list of students, whose GPA is 3.5 or higher, is compiled by each academic department. The list of highly intelligent students is then joined with the other students that have made the cut from the other departments, ending with one list of very lucky students: The Dean's List.
Whether you have made the list or not, each student admitted to Sacred Heart University has been noticed for their amazing academic ability.
The students that make up the Dean's List however, have proven themselves the extra step and are only .5 percent from that "perfect" 4.0 GPA.
While the list is compiled of seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen, this semester, the seniors dominated. Taking up the space of almost a whole page of student names, 66 percent of the senior class made the Dean's List, which in numeric numbers translates to 352 total.
While the seniors finished strong, the juniors were not too far behind. Thirty-eight percent of their student body was able to make the list, which equals to 218 students.
The sophomores, however, left a bit of a gap between the percentages. Only 159 students names were posted on the list, making that 22 percent of the class.
Sophomore Tanya Rombilus, Monroe, was one of the sophomore students whose hard work and dedication to school paid off.
"I do study but I don't over do it," explains Rombilus. "I just balance my time and make sure that I get all my work done, but still leave the weekends open to go out and have fun."
Trailing only a little far behind the sophomores, the freshman class had the least amount of students in the university to make the Dean's List.
Although freshman year is the hardest year to become comfortable with the school and your surroundings, only 17 percent of the class was able to meet the Dean's requirements.
