is getting summa cum laude that much different?
Hi all,
I am a graduating senior and my GPA is extremely close to getting summa cum laude.
I go to a school w quarter system and just started a new quarter. In order for me to get my summa, I need to take an additional 5 unit course. The other classes are I'm taking are extremely difficult (for one class, I have 8 novels to read, 2 of which are 500 pages each) and taking an additional course can actually lower my GPA.
Assuming I get straight A's without that extra class, I will still have a GPA extremely close to 3.9. In the eyes of the ad com, how important is the Latin honor as opposed to the number itself?
As additional detail, I am econ major, acct minor, spanish minor.
Hope you are enjoying your night.
no one will care as they will see your gpa and gpa over 3.7 means your fine for banking

I'm in a very similar situation as well, actually.
I mean, at the end of the day, it's really not that important whether you have a 3.88 or a 3.90 for summa. However, if it's in your control to get summa, suck it up and just go for it.
Good luck.
This is more of a person achievement for me
Purely personal. Considering it's 1 quarter and the summa stays on the diploma for a lifetime I'd probably suck it up.

i didn't even pick up my diploma
graduated from a state school, i can't care less about that degree
Latin honor or Not, that's an impressive GPA. I think you'll be OK as far as finding a job. It's mostly a matter of whether or not YOU want the honor.
i would do it!
imagine that you are being introduced as a speaker at an industry conference 10 years from now. now imagine the host saying "Monkeyfest graduated summa cum laude from XYZ university with a degree in....". bang thats straight gangsta!
i'm only half-joking.
