[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS at Uchicago, Physics and CS major, 3.9, Phi beta kappa, department awards, going into Satellite engineering at Raytheon! We're so proud of him![/quote] Isn’t phi beta kappa for the non science majors? [/quote] No. I was phi beta kappa as a chem major premed 25 yrs ago. It is topv%age of the graduating class based on GPA, usually, though there are some nuances to how universities can select each cohort. [/quote] The "nuances" mean PBK is NOT selected just by GPA. PBK is only awarded to students who have taken a certain number of classes across humanities, social science, foreign language (the exact criteria varies by school). So you'll find some non-PBK students with higher GPAs than PBK students simply because they didn't take the PBK-eligible assortment of courses to qualify for consideration. [/quote]
