6 days agoA few other people mentioning precise GPA requirements, but for the computer science school at my (large) university it was top 10% of your class for cum laude, top 5% for magna cum laude, top 2% for summa cum laude
As someone who graduated cum laude, I sorta regret it. I wish I spent more time socializing, networking, and generally managing my anxiety better. I was able to land a job after graduating sooner than a lot of my classmates, but I also had some internships and some personal projects under my belt, so it’s hard to say how much GPA played a role. It all comes down to what’s important to you, your field, and how much work you’d be willing to put in after graduating to get your first job
I don’t have aphantasia but I still skip over descriptions. It just doesn’t really add anything for me. Much more interested in dialogue and actions
