What is the difference between maxima cum laude and summa cum laude?
Q. which is a higher level of honour?
Asked by Evangeline - Sat May 16 07:14:02 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. cum laude, "with honor" (direct translation: "with praise") magna cum laude, "with great honor" (direct translation: "with great praise") summa cum laude, "with highest honor" (direct translation: "with highest praise") A rarely used distinction, maxima cum laude, "with very great praise", is an intermediary honor between the summa and the magna honors. It is sometimes used when the summa honor is reserved only for students with a perfect academic record (4.0 GPA).

Is graduating c-u-m laude a good thing considering that it is not as a good as magna or summa?
Q. Doesn't it really matter based on institution, the major you have, and the amount of tough classes you take compared to other people who take cupcake electives.
Asked by PB - Mon Oct 26 14:05:23 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It does vary a little, but not much! I graduated from a state university with NO honors at all, so you're way ahead of me and I've done pretty good for myself. Honestly, seeing ANY honors recognition on a job application tells the employer so much. They almost NEVER ask for a transcript, so there's no way to tell how difficult your classes were (or weren't). Just consider yourself blessed that you graduated with honors- period!

Are cumlaude and summa given by distinction in overall gpa or gpa in your major?
Q. I have a 3.3 overall and a 3.7 gpa in my major
Asked by chuckbell - Fri Nov 9 10:58:36 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The requirements for those honors depend completely on the university. For example, at my undergraduate school -- it was completely dependent on overall GPA. But at another school that I went to, students needed a high GPA and also had to write an undergraduate thesis. I doubt that you will qualify to graduate with honors with an overall GPA of 3.3. However, that GPA in you major may get you into a good graduate school -- and that is better in the long run.

Can you graduate summa cum laude,magna cum laude, or cum laude from a college if you transfer your junior year?
Q. So, I was reading the school handbook and it shows how you can graduate with honors. I am just trying to understand it. When you transfer, your GPA turns to 0 in that school right? So, for example, if I did poorly my first two years in college and transferred to another school and got like all A's. Can I graduate with honors?
Asked by Carina - Wed Dec 16 23:50:14 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Honors are usually based on your total GPA for all four years of college. Otherwise, it would be unfair to people who did not transfer.

What's graduating "Summa Cum Laude" really worth in the job market?

Do people really care if you graduated summa cum laude from college?
Q. I just wanted to know. Other than getting an award or special cord to wear for the graduation ceremony and having bragging rights, does it really matter if you graduate summa cum laude? Will it lead to a higher first salary, greater job opportunities, a better life, etc? I just want to know before I go through all of the paperwork and advising.

A. Clearly you are going to have to work much harder in college than you have/did in high school, if this is your goal. Eat well, exercise, get enough sleep. Go to EVERY session of class and take copious notes. Don't fall behind on any of your reading or assignments. Go to the professor immediately if you run into trouble with something; consider joining/forming a study group where you think it will help you. Plan to commit plenty of time each week to each subject. Best of luck to you!

They are more inclined to ignore minor mistakes that could be reducing your GPA if they know you are actually interested rather than just there to get a piece of paper to get a job later. Unfortunately too many students are there for just that - and guess what - they are treated accordingly. Thanks Bill
