How many people have graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University?
Uh.... Think about it, there is one graduation every year, which means there is one magna cum laude every year (if indeed there is only one) Harvard has been arouond for almost 300 years. Do the math. People should not answer questions when they know nothing about the subject. There are three Latin degrees indicating outstanding achievement: cum laude (with distinction), magna cum laude (with high distinction), and summa cum laude (with the highest distinction). At Harvard School of Law, only 10% of each graduating class graduates magna cum laude, and only one student graduates summa cum laude. Where President Obama is concerned, it is possible he graduated second in his class when he received his degree magna cum laude.

Is summa cum laude a higher distinction than valedictorian?
Cum laude means 'with honor', magna cum laude is 'with high honor', and summa cum laude means 'with the greatest honor'. These designations are granted to every graduate who meets a required grade-point average, so several students in a class, or even an entire class, could graduate cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude. The valedictorian is the student with the highest academic rank in the class, so you would expect he would at least be a cum laude graduate. But if you have a class where no one has over a B average, there will still be a valedictorian but he will not be graduated with honors.

No. Valedictorian refers to the student with the top GPA (ie number one). However, it is common in baccalaureate graduating classes for there to be several students with perfect GPAs.

This varies by school, but typically ranges from a 3.3 to a 3.6 and normally incorporates about 10-15% of a graduating class. Magna Cum Laude is a higher honor than Cum Laude, but is not as high as the Suma Cum Laude honor. This is typically only awarded to the top 5%.
