[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cum laude is top 10% of jr class. According to our college counselor, this is a big deal, esp at schools that don’t otherwise rank kids. Cum laude senior yr is top 20%- nice but not as meaningful. [/quote] Only the junior year ranking would be known in time for college apps anyway, right? It’s based on end of year gpa?[/quote] My daughter was just informed of her Cum Laude invitation. She is a senior. I believe it is up to the top 20% of the class, but I don't know any other parameters. They say it can be less than 20%. So she will be able to share this for her college apps. I am pretty sure the school doesn't invite to cum laude until senior year, but I may be wrong (and dd just didn't get invited junior year). Also DD received the College Board School Recognition award for being in top 10% of the PSAT scores in the school, so that is also a nice brag on the application. [/quote]
