I’m a high school junior interested in the ECU Honors program. I’ve seen the minimum requirements but I wanted to know if you had to go above and beyond that to be accepted. Anyone who has been accepted could you please share your gpa and standardized test scores? I have yet to take the SAT or the ACT but my wgpa is a 4.13 and unweighted is a 3.3.
I would say the requirements that you see listed are the minimum. My daughter got in ECU-HC and is up for early acceptance to grad school but she did not get scholars, which we also wanted. But I am sure many things factor in, like I assume they like to get a variety from all over the state. My daughter is a white female from Wake Co, which I figure made it even harder for her. She is ion the top 10% of her class, GPA 4.7 and 3.7 unweighted, and she had a 32 on the ACT. We have been to selection Sunday at ECU and many of the people we met were Valedictorians at their schools, but there was diversity in that some of the kids were coming from schools that only offered 2 AP classes, while my daughter has taken 14 AP and IBs.
But it seems to be a great program, I would say to aim for it, it sounds like you could be a good fit with the right test scores and essays (there are lots of essays) Good Luck!
