Iโ€™m 18 years old and graduated high school. I plan to go to college, but Iโ€™m curious what you need to graduate cum laude because I heard someone (clearly older than me) say they graduated cum laude.

  1. it depends on the school and sometimes even the program

  2. my advice is to slow your roll and focus on transitioning to college successfully, meaning establishing good study habits (they will have to change from high school), staying healthy during the time that is often the first extended time away from parent(s) (food, sleep, hygiene, keeping the drugs/booze under control, proper response to inevitably getting sick, mental health), and finally, enjoy the experience by making friends and trying new activities.

I have never once thought about what I could have done to earn another point on my GPA. I have thought a lot about the friends I made and the things I got to experience.
