Cum Laude society

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>The "awards" on my transcript has recently been updated with Cum Laude society membership, but no one has mentioned it to me, nor do I know what it is or if it "means" anything. I've looked at the website, which doesn't say much, but just wondering if this is worth sharing on a college app or not.</p>

<p>Cum Laude at my school is a graduation reward.</p>

<p>Cum Laude: Is 3.25GPA or better
Magna Cum Laude: Is 3.5GPA or better
Summa Cum Laude: Is 3.75GPA or better</p>

<p>Cum Laude means something like “academic achievement” in latin, I never took latin so I don’t know. The GPA scale I said could be different at your school.</p>

<p>no… different thing… this is a society, i think for the top 10% (at your school)??? i have a 4.0 UW.</p>

<p>Cum Laude- with honors.
Magna Cum Laude- with great honors.
Summa Cum Laude- with highest honors.
I’m pretty sure this is the proper translation, and if not then it’s quite close…</p>

<p>Seems just like an award to me.</p>

<p>now, back to my original question… is it something worth putting on my college app?</p>

<p>Sure, I don’t see why not, I mean, even if it is fluff, it won’t hurt.</p>

<p>I’m so immature. I couldn’t help but laugh at this thread. Dear lord.
Alright.</p>

<p>But, yes I think it’s worth it to put on your appp.</p>
