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.

It varies depending on the school. Most schools have a GPA requirement, such as cum laude >3.7, magna cum laude >3.8, and summa cum laude is >3.9.

For my associates a 4.0 was required for summa cum laude but that seemed uncommon. My bachelor's required the former system.

Yet some still just assign it based on top % of the graduating class. You can almost certainly Google, "Latin honors YourUniversityHere" and find it for a specific university.

Wish you the best of luck with your studies. I’m in the UK and so graduated as a Cum Lord which is still good, but no help to you. Either way- you can do it! ♥️

If you're not cumming laude you're not doing college right.

A few other people mentioning precise GPA requirements, but for the computer science school at my (large) university it was top 10% of your class for cum laude, top 5% for magna cum laude, top 2% for summa cum laude

As someone who graduated cum laude, I sorta regret it. I wish I spent more time socializing, networking, and generally managing my anxiety better. I was able to land a job after graduating sooner than a lot of my classmates, but I also had some internships and some personal projects under my belt, so it's hard to say how much GPA played a role. It all comes down to what's important to you, your field, and how much work you'd be willing to put in after graduating to get your first job

It says 3.5-3.7. I graduated cum laude with 3.65 GPA.

Others have talked about the ultimate measure: your GPA. However, for you to get that high GPA it can help to:

• Train your relational frame skills.
• Develop good learning habits through Tiny Habits or something like that.
• Develop a good relationship with your thoughts and emotions through something like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or the Healthy Minds Program or any program designed to improve your relationship with your thoughts.
• Internalize something like Make it Stick or another book that teaches how to learn quickly and well.
• Internalize habits of mind such as Harvard’s Project Zero’s Visible Thinking Routines.

It's going to vary.

My daughter's high school was 3.95, 4.25 and 4.45 for the three honors. She had a 4.3 GPA and got the middle honor. At the college she's in now it goes by top percentage and is somehow based on the previous year's GPA. So, I think, they average everyone's GPA from the previous grads and you get an honor for being in the top 5 or 10 percent of that number.
