<p>From the looks of my stats, do you think I can get in to the Honors program at UConn? My app is going to be sent out in a week. Not sure if that matters having it done early.</p>

<p>According the the admissions rep we spoke to at a college fair last week, 3.8 and a SAT CR & MA combined of 1400 are, on average, what is required to get into honors. I don’t know what the ACT equivilent is, but your course rigor and ec’S look very good. There is sometimes merit aid at this level, too. For the best shot at merit awards, you need to apply EA (12/1), which it looks like you are doing. The rep. said that everything on the website about honors is accurate. For you lurkers who are in-state, it is really important to apply EA. Uconn is not need blind and they may shuttle you off to a satellite campus if you apply RD and need aid (or if you are a borderline admit). A Governors Scholar (30 in the state annually) we know, missed a full tuition scholarship last year by not applying EA. Good luck!</p>

<p>For reference to anyone gauging to see if they might get into the Honors Program. I got accepted today. Good luck to anyone applying!</p>
