I saw that some Midshipmen had a star on top of their anchors on the SDB. Is this some sort of position or award?

Was there a published Supe's list? I have only been able to find the Dant's list. Thanks! BTW - I think the Mids are being "encouraged" to wear them now, although the feel I get is a many still do not. As proud parents DW and I ask DD to wear it. She is indifferent.In our day, well less than 10% of the brigade made Supe's list. Now, based on lists from last year, it's closer to 35%. The main difference is that, today average GPA of the brigade is much higher, so a lot easier to hit that 3.4 GPA element of making the list.
I fondly remember one sponsor son, a complete Cali guy from San Clemente (beach volleyball and surfing and In ‘n’ Out and fish tacos), volleyball starter and eventual captain, confess to us one semester he had made Supe’s List, but he had to scale back or his cool factor rep would diminish. He was halfway serious.Sentiment expressed by NavyHoops, experienced by Gabe, still feels very prevalent today among the overwhelming majority of my "nerdy" shipmates As always, CAPT MJ has her finger on the pulse of the Brigade
This just came up among my classmates on FB. Someone found and shared the gouge about who the POC is to get missing/damaged sweaters replaced ($90).Letter sweaters are the best. Comfortable and no cover. Best USNA uniform. Still have mine!
We are encouraged to wear stars but I’d say roughly 60% of those on a list don’t.
