<p>After getting flat-out rejected from Cornell a few days ago, I've since regrouped and gotten my act together. I plan on applying to UVM, among other schools such as TCNJ and Drew University</p>
<p>I have all A's and A+'s in honors/AP classes throughout my highschool career
Class rank 3 out of 100
SAT Math + Crit reading is 1360, total is 2040
I'm a white male, go to a small parochial school in NJ (400 kids total)
Extracurriculars, varsity sports, community service, a solid essay, the whole shabang</p>
<p>My questions are:
Do I have a good shot of getting accepted, despite applying rather late in the grand scheme of things?</p>
<p>Would I be able to get some sort of merit scholarship, even though I am out of state?</p>
<p>Is it possible for me to gain acceptance into the Honors College? I would almost definitely go to UVM if I gain acceptance to the Honors College.</p>
<p>I think you have a great shot at both the school and the honors program. UVM is not known for its generosity with merit to oos students. From what I understand the maximum scholarship is 3,000. I could be wrong and I hope I am as my D just got accepted. With your stats you could get lots of merit at many private schools!</p>
<p>I’m not so concerned with the merit aspect, as much as I am with getting into the Honors College. I really want to gain acceptance to it. Thanks for the information.</p>
<p>Most of my stats are around yours, and my guidance counselor told me that I should feel confident about my ability to get into the honors school… so I think you’re good! :)</p>
<p>@radannie: That sounds like a good idea. I think I will do that once they respond to my application.</p>
<p>@kaylala: Thanks for the encourging information! I really hope I get accepted into it. It looks like an awesome experience. Maybe if I get accepted I will see you there hahahhaa</p>
<p>Haha, yeah, definitely! I’d LOVE to be in the honors program as well, so my fingers are crossed also! Best of luck with your college applications!</p>
<p>I think you’ll probably get into the Honors college. I got in, and you definitely have a way better GPA and probably much better extracurriculars. I don’t think they offer much merit aid, though.</p>
<p>You should get into the honors program. And that’s not true about merit scholarships for oos. It’s true they don’t give much but they offered me 5k a year with a 3.66 GPA (weighted) and an 1830 on the SAT’s.</p>
<p>Well, I’m just waiting for them to respond to my application. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the Honors College, because if I get accepted to it I plan on attending UVM. Best of luck to all of you and congratulations to those that have been accepted!</p>
<p>OP - my DS has same SAT stat and similar GPA to what you posted… He was accepted to honors college and offered $6000 yr… I would imagine that not all slots are filled prior to RD applications so hopefully there will be a spot for you. Good Luck!</p>
Best of luck with your college applications!</p>
