I’m 18 years old and graduated high school. I plan to go to college, but I’m curious what you need to graduate cum laude because I heard someone (clearly older than me) say they graduated cum laude.

      So there seems to be a lot of regret here. In college you can retake courses that you weren’t happy with the grades on. I felt during my senior year that I should have had a better grasp on some of the courses I passed but didn’t really understand as a freshman. I retook them. Not only did I raise my GPA I really cemented some fundamental concepts I could use but didn’t understand.

        I’m not yet in college.

        You can take courses that you weren’t happy with the grades on.

        thanks!

          You can check with your colleges policy, but it could make it less stressful knowing that a ‘C’ or ‘D’ can be taken over. Some courses you just need to get though and the ideas only ‘click’ later
