[quote=CA renter]While I don’t have numbers, it can’t be that difficult. My mom did it from UCLA, and she started out at a CC…without a HS diploma from the U.S.[/quote]
Do you truly believe it’s not difficult to get summa cum laude? If you do, then there’s not much to debate about since your view of what’s difficult is very skewed. To get summa cum laude, you need 3.9 GPA out of 4.0. Another method is percentile and it’s top 5% of graduate. Yes, it’s VERY difficult to get summa cum laude and your mom is VERY smart.
