phi beta kappa

<p>so, what’s the deal with this at harvard? gpa reqs? does courseload/major matter?</p>

<p>Students concentrating in social science, natural science, and humanities are compared only to others within their division. Invitations to membership are divided among the three areas in proportion to the number of concentrators within each class. Courseload does matter – they want to see a breadth of liberal arts and not too many gut classes. The people in my class who were elected as juniors or senior fall mostly ended up graduating summa. For election at commencement, you probably need to be in the 3.8 range.</p>

<p>thanks, just wanted to bump this to see if anyone had any more concrete numbers or other info…</p>

<p>This may help:</p>
