<p>How many students actually live on campus, and is housing guaranteed for 4 years?</p>
<p>What are the general stats required to get into the honors college?</p>
<p>Housing guarantee:

<p>I just read somewhere that 8,000 students live on campus. Here’s a 2011 article from GMU that says ~6,000:

<p>Honors College stats. I can’t recall seeing anything official in print. We were told at the info session that it’s something like 30 ACT, AP-type classes, leadership qualities, etc. Maybe someone else can give a more specific answer. </p>
<p>However, I believe they look at a student more holistically than that, as my D’s stats were lower. She wrote a strong essay, she apparently has a bit of a unique “hook” (so we’re beginning to see), and we showed that hook in a very positive light.</p>
<p>A couple of things to remember about Honors College: You need to apply EA. If you don’t get in, you can appeal. You can find the appeal form online, and you’ll need to answer a few questions about why you should be reconsidered and why you believe you are a good fit.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Spritle, I just looked at some of your earlier posts. We may live in the same part of the state, and my D also applied to at least one of the other schools your S’s considered. You are welcome to PM me to discuss a bit more. :)</p>
