<p>Although it is still a long way in the future for me as an ungrad, I was wondering what types of Honors are available at graduation.</p>
<p>There are honors like cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude (in ascending significance). Cum laude is like top 7%, summa is top 5%, and magna is top 3%. Something like that. Good luck with that! Keep your motivation high and make UCI cooler :].</p>
<p>Summa is top 1%, Magna is the next 3% after that, and Cum Laude is the next 8% after that.</p>
<p>So to get some kind of Latin honor, you have to be in the top 12% of your school.</p>
<p>There are also other awards like Phi Beta Kappa and several departmental awards you can earn.</p>
<p>what about Dean's List? dont you get that every quarter when ur GPA exceeds 3.5 or something? any scholarships? im curious to know too</p>
<p>Yeah, you get Dean's List if you get a 3.5 with at least 12 graded units. But being on the Dean's List is not an honor at graduation. It's just a line on your transcript each time you qualify.</p>
<p>As for scholarships, you must apply for those, and it's a lot of work. You really have to be competitive about it, but it helps to start thinking about it early (freshman or sophomore year). For a list of some of the prestigious scholarships you can apply for, go to <a href="http://www.scholars.uci.edu%5B/url%5D">http://www.scholars.uci.edu</a>.</p>
<p>Wow, I didn't know it was all organized for us. Thanks a bunch alicantekid. I need to start preparing for these. My cousin said fellowships are a good way to gain prestige for grad school.</p>
