It’s important that students being selected for FIRST Dean’s List be able to take full advantage of their selection. We want these students to be able to list their selection for this prestigious award on their college applications, and we want their selection to motivate them to even greater accomplishments with their teams through the following seasons.

This says it all. By the time a senior receives their Dean's List Award (March or April of their senior year), they're done with the college application process. By that point most of our kids have received their acceptance letters and are figuring out which school they want to go to. Effectively, the Dean's List isn't going to do much for them except give them recognition. On the other hand, the Dean's List could do a lot for a sophomore and junior who more than likely hasn't started the college application process.
