<p>I think you should get a good merit scholarship but as far as honors college I think you would need both a higher GPA and test scores somewhere above a 2100</p>

<p>beau123… test scores definitely DON’T need to be a 2100 to get in the honors college. Aim for a ~1900.
Peakie, I would suggest you take the ACT - its more straightforward. For some people, like me, it just works better.</p>
