<p>so based on this random info… how do you think the honors college will see me?</p>
<p>It’s probably a close decision and could go either way.
However, ASU requires residency to be established for an entire year prior to enrollment, so if you haven’t moved to AZ yet, you are not considered a resident.</p>
<p>I remember seeing the average scores of those admitted, and you seem like you’re right around that area. It’s been a while though, but I’m sure they’re still on the website.</p>
<p>You’ll have an easier time getting in as an in-state student, and you’ll save substantially on tuition. If you move to Arizona at the start of this semester, you might even be eligible for ASU as an in-state student in January 2011. It is enough of a difference that you might want to wait until you’re qualified. </p>
<p>ASU is mandated to have 70% in-state enrollment, and Barrett works hard to find the in-state students who are qualified. Most of the out-of-state students have a bit stronger stats.</p>
<p>First and foremost, unless you will have lived in AZ for a year prior to your semester of admittance, you will not qualify as a resident. </p>
<p>Secondarily, I was just accepted into the school three weeks ago and had similar stats to yours. What I believe bolstered my application though was my essay and my recommendation letters. Having spoken with counselors at the Honors College, they look very highly upon recommendation letters as well as the essay. Hopefully you submitted both of these. </p>
<p>Lastly, I believe you have a good chance. While it is in fact more difficult to get into the school if you are non-resident, the fact that you have submitted your application so early is also important. (I am assuming you did, in fact, submit your application already. If you have questions about my qualifications let me know. I’ll be happy to tell you what I tried to do to get in, and what obviously worked. Good luck!</p>
<p>Also- I almost forgot! Have you received a New American University Scholarship? If so, it’s a good indicator that you have performed well in high school, and can possibly bolster your chance of acceptance. The same goes for National Merit and the like.</p>
