Summa Cum Laude is conferred upon bachelors degree students whose cumulative GPA ranks them in the top 1% of the graduating class of each college based on a five year average of the top 1% in that college.
It varies depending on the institution (school, college or university) and even the curriculum (major).
The short answer: a GPA of 3.90 or higher = summa cum laude (with highest honors).
Some colleges or universities may require an additional step - such as writing an essay - in addition to the GPA (Grade Point Average ). Therefore, the GPA required could be as low as 3.80+ but in addition/condition of passing a "Summa Paper" or as high4.0+ for a summa cum laude
Many institutions require a grade point average of 3.9 or above for supreme honors (summa cum laude). My institution required a 3.85
I got summa cum laude with a graduating GPA of 3.81.
It depends on the college or university. There are no standards. Typically, it is above a 3.8. Some schools require above a 3.85.
Grade point for summa cum laude is 3.90-+
The highest level of honors is Summa Cum Laude, then comes Magna Cum Laude, and then Cum Laude. Thus, a grade point average (GPA) of 4.0 is Summa Cum Laude. Acutally, Summa Cum Laude starts at a 3.85 GPA. Still, different institutions have different requirements.
Cum Laude 3.50 to 3.64 GPA Magna Cum Laude 3.65 to 3.79 GPA
cum laude: 3.5 GPA minimum magna cum laude: 3.7 GPA minimum summa cum laude: 3.9 GPA minimum
The GPA requirement for magna cum laude at University of Michigan is 3.50-3.74. To be summa cum laude, your GPA must be between 3.75-4.00.
summa cum laude is top 5% of the class magna cum laude is next 10% cum laude is next 15%
Depends on schools. Ussually it is... Summa Cum Laude is 3.9 and better. Magna Cum Laude is 3.7 - 3.9 Cum laude is 3.5 - 3.7 There is also Egregia Cum Laude which holds the same GPA requirement as summa but is only given to the selected elite. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cum_laude
You can if you keep up those great marks! Whether you qualify for summa cum laude depends on your GPA at the completion of your last semester as you graduate.
3.65-3.79 cum laude 3.80-3.89 magnum cum laude 3.90+ summa cum laude
Use lower case and italicize cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum.
3.5 to 3.69 for cum laude. 3.7 to 3.89 for magna cum laude. 3.9 and up for summa cum laude. I do not know if these scores are based on institutional or cumulative GPAs.
I graduated from Harvard Summa Cum Laude.
Summa cum laude is the highest distinction
