Another resume question: "cum laude" or "with honors"?

Well, here’s how the slackers do it: My son was able to project the GPA needed to graduate with honors (it varied from year to year, calculated to apply to the top 15% of the graduating class IIRC), brought his average to.02 above that number in the winter quarter of his senior year, then took all of his remaining classes in the spring - a bunch of breadth requirements - pass/fail, guaranteeing a relaxed final 10 weeks of college and no sweating out making honors.

I love that kid.
