Hey! So, I have applied, been accepted, and will attend Carroll University in the fall of 2018. I’ve also been fortunate enough to receive a merit scholarship based on my gpa and ACT score (neither of which are actually that high but I’m not complaining about the scholarship!). I have been considering applying for Carroll’s honors program; I feel that my ACT is inadequate to apply to such. I contacted someone from the program and they told me that since I got the merit scholarship, I’d be eligible to apply for honors. My ACT score is a 23 and my unweighted gpa is a 3.2 (but it might be higher since the scholarship gpa min and max was 3.75 - 4.00 with an ACT score of 23 - 26). Also, “admission is competitive and selective” (apparently only 100 undergraduates will be allowed to join). What should I do?
Also - I will be retaking the ACT on February 10th and possibly sometime again in April and my goal score is a 27; the deadline to apply is June 1st but I just don’t feel confident.
