traffic,
Yes, Excelsior does indeed award those "funny cums" to those graduating with high GPA's. To answer your question, 3.7 would "get you" the designation of "magna cum laude" on your diploma. The breakdown is as follows:
GPA 3.5 or higher Cum laude
GPA 3.65 or higher Magna cum laude
GPA 3.8 or higher Summa cum laude
I have to say that while watching some of the graduation ceremonies yesterday, I thought it was VERY COOL to hear them say--after they announced the graduate's name--which honors distinction that graduate had earned. For example, "Robert Jason White, Summa cum laude".
