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.

          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
