<p>Just as a point of reference, I believe one must have a 3.25 or above to be on the Dean’s List at the end of the year. It can be done without getting an A since Chicago gives B+'s, but an A or two probably is more likely.</p>
<p>The hardest grading school I know of is Reed College, the average graduating GPA is 2.8, and only about 70% graduate. Students aren’t told their GPA’s until graduation, unless they petition to see them. If a student falls to a C average, they are notified.</p>
