pass with distinction a absolvi/promova cum laude Explanation: In Latin, "cum laude" means "with distinction," and different colleges use different standards: - "with distinction" (cum laude, literally "with honor") is often the top 5% of GPA within the graduating class. - "with high distinction" (magna cum laude, literally "with high honor"), is reserved for students with a GPA between the top 5% and 3%. - "with highest distinction" (summa cum laude, literally "with highest honor") is often the top 3% of the graduating class, usually a GPA above 3.9, depending on the grade inflation at the school. Universities may call it different names, but the three steps of "cum laude" remain a universal standard for achievement in colleges and universities across the globe. http://travel-golf.org/t_difference_magna_summa_cum_laude_wi... |
