Colleges and Universities A-Z Denison University

<p>I visited Denison last month and fell in love with the very community oriented, cozy feeling of the campus. I am interested in the Honors Program there, as well as the Lugar Program and the certification in Organizational Studies. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about these programs, or my chances for being admitted into these programs. My stats are:</p>

<p>Female from Rural Kentucky
GPA: 4.25w, 3.95uw
7 APs by graduation: 3 this year with all 5's. School has block scheduling which has made it hard to take copious amounts of APs, plus we are not allowed to take any APs independent study.
Rank: 2/350
ACT: 30 (will retake in October, hoping for a 33)
SAT IIs: Lit: 730, Math IIC: (will take in October,*700), Biology: (will take in October, *760)</p>

<p>ECs:

<p>I think you have an excellent chance to get accepted into Denison’s Honors Program (I’m a Denison alum, and my roommate my freshman year was a member of that program).</p>

<p>Regarding the other programs you mentioned, I don't know much about them unfortunately. However, Denison’s web site is fairly informative, and you may find the following links helpful.</p>
