Does your school give out that golden cord at graduation time?

<p>Okay because I'm confused.</p>

<p>My school gives out 3 things.</p>

<p>A tassel for a 3.0 gpa</p>

<p>A cord for 3.5+ gpa</p>

<p>And the Cum Laude thing for anyone who got like 130 gpa points or something</p>

<p>Okay so I have gotten a 3.5+ gpa for every year in high school except one. In sophmore year I got a 3.0 second semester, just flat out screwed up.</p>

<p>So do I not get the cord just because of that? That's completely BS. And I am eligible for the Cum Laude thing as well which is stupid because that sounds more difficult to get.</p>

<p>I always thought that those things were based on your cumulative.</p>

<p>They better be.</p>

<p>That’s like someone getting a 5.0 GPA every year and then getting a 3.4 so they don’t get it? ■■■■■■■■</p>

<p>As far as I know it is.</p>

<p>The only one I know of at my school that is a semester-based is that if you get a 4.0 every semester in HS you get to wear a gold robe instead of a blue robe (school colors are blue & gold).</p>

<p>Yeah… we don’t do cords.</p>

6

<p>you screwed up so that means it’s BS…</p>

<p>nice job taking responsibility</p>

7

<p>Yeah we get golden cords for 3.6 GPA and also get a blue cord for a 3.6 CPA (citizenship, probably the only district in the whole US that has a stupid citizenship thing). Anyways we have to pay for them.</p>

<p>I THINK we get a chord for 3.5+ GPA cumulative.</p>

9

<p>We wear white dresses and hold roses. Don’t worry, it’s and all girl’s school!</p>
