I think we have a traditional 4.0% grade system in US schools, with the occasional 5.0 in some. Those that achieve at least a 3.8% are considered something or other, but I do not remember what they're called.
4.0 = A
3.8 = (This and above get recognition in a four-point school)
3.5 = B+
3.0 = B
2.75 = (Minimum for teachers degrees in NC.)
2.5 = C+ (Cut off for most degrees I think)
2.0 = C
cum laude...I just thought he was being silly and spelling "loud" a funny way. Is that really what they call it?
