<p>I know in HS you get a cord if you graduate with honors, which was a 3.2+ at my school, and a honors stole if you graduate with highest honors (3.7+). What do you get if you graduate cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude?</p>

<p>It varies from school to school. At Columbia you don’t get anything unless you graduate summa - which is a gold cord.</p>

<p>I received a honors cord as well as the designation on my degree.</p>
