<p>Questions:
What do they look at on the SAT? Does the writing part count? Do they just look at the highest of M/V? </p>

<p>What's it like outside the campus? Any big retail stores like Walmart or Target?</p>

2

<p>You're in......there is a walmart and target within 20-25 minutes of the campus.</p>

3

<p>You are definitely in to the school, but not neccesarilly the honors program. The walmart is in Willimantic (kinda ghetto-ish, but an alright town) and the school offers a bus to Walmart deemed the "Willy Bus"</p>

4

<p>you'll probably get in. for the honors program, i think you need a 1400 SAT or top 5% rank.</p>

5

<p>willimantic is the crack capital of ct</p>

6

<p>Willimantic is the HEROIN capital of CT. It has cleaned up a bit in the past couple of years, though.</p>

7

<p>I think your chances of getting into UCONN are pretty good. Good luck!</p>

8

<p>Yay! I got in.</p>

9

<p>I got into UCONN. WAs top 5% but did not get 1400 on SATs. I was not accepted into honors program? Why?</p>

10

<p>i had the top 5% too, but not the 1400's either. honors at uconn is much more competitive than you may think...in fact, i heard the average SAT out of 1600 was between 1370-1430, but that may be incorrect. check their website.</p>

11

<p>I can verify rriello5's statistic...I am in the honors program and most people I know had an SAT score in the mid 1400s out of 1600. Its not entirely score based, however. If you are a minority with a score in the 1300s or are an astounding leader/have a great EC, you will probably get in. Many students in the honors program turned down competetive LACs or Ivys to go the Uconn for financial reasons.</p>
