| Gracias, Lydia. Esto fue lo primero que pensé, pero me hizo dudar el hecho de que existe una calificación más alta (para nota 7). Tengo que preguntarle a la interesada cómo se denomina en su universidad. Ya les cuento :) |

graduated with honors
Es el término utilizado en las universidades de Estados Unidos... hasta existe una película con ese nombre :-) Equivalente a la "mención honorífica" (al menos así se le llama en México)

Note from asker:
| Hola, Marcelo. En Chile esto varía de una universidad a otra. Yo me gradué "con dos votos de distinción" (el máximo son tres), por eso pregunté. Voy a consultar con esta clienta ;) |

passed/graduated with high distinction
In Britain and Australia, graduating from your degree with "honours" refers to having done an additional year of research after your Bachelor. As a result, writing "graduated with (high) honours" may be misinterpreted as having done an Honours year. Hence, I would write "passed/graduated with high distinction" to make it clear that you're referring to her grades and thus avoid any possible misunderstanding.
