Those who earn all A's in college usually fall under the summa cum laude distinction. That's because summa cum laude represents the very top of the class. If you want to earn this wowing title, you'll need to earn all A's in college.

In general, only the top 1-5% will achieve this title. The percentage can vary because there can be some instances where no one earns the straight A's to achieve summa cum laude, and other instances where there are several brilliant students who do.

If you're looking to earn straight A's in college, you'll have to study hard and most likely make some sacrifices to your social life. However, just remember that it's not worth having a panic attack when you earn your first B due to My Math Lab.
