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.
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
It depends on the specific college or university. However, many institutions start a cum laude honor at a 3.45. Once again, there is no standard and can only be understood by inquiring about the policies particular to the school.
summa cum laude is top 5% of the class magna cum laude is next 10% cum laude is next 15%
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.
It is an honor awarded to college and university students who display academic excellence. There are three levels of honors as follows from lowest to highest. * Cum Laude * Magna Cum Laude * Summa Cum Laude (highest level).
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.
Typically, it is magna cum laude. Suma cum laude can start at 3.86 for some schools, some are higher. I received the Magna Cum Laude and had 3.90. Got all A's except in two classes got B's. So it must depend on the university.
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 should check with the Office of the Registrar at your school. Inquire about the exact GPA requirements for honors. I have seen some schools that have a cutoff as high as 3.85 GPA for Magna Cum Laude. Each school may have different GPA cutoffs. I am assuming they did give you at least Cum Laude.
