Phi Beta Kappa
Election to Phi Beta Kappa is based on the percentage of grades of A earned at Yale. The grade point average (GPA) is not a factor. Marks of CR in courses taken Credit/D/Fail are counted as non-A grades. Marks of W, for Withdrawal, carry no course credit, and do not figure in the calculation for Phi Beta Kappa. Grades earned outside Yale, including those earned during study abroad other than at Yale-in-London or the Peking University–Yale University Joint Undergraduate Program, are also not included in the calculation. Further information about the criteria for election and about the Yale chapter can be found on the Yale Phi Beta Kappa Web site.
