<p>When do you find out if you've been invited to join the Glynn program?</p>
<p>I've heard it's really good.</p>
<p>I'm not in the top 2% of my school (top 3%), but I go to quite a good high school, have great SAT scores, very good ECs and leadership, and am an URM.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the top 2% requirement is mandatory or not?</p>
<p>bump this up</p>
<p>No. I'm in the HP and all the information they wanted from me was my SAT score...</p>
<p>Were you ranked in the top two percent of your HS?</p>
<p>Yes, but the HP didn't know that. I was originally ineligible b/c of the fact that I was an engineering major, then I switched to physics. I went to the head of the HP and asked. The only thing he wanted to know was my SAT score. The next day I got an email saying I was in.</p>
<p>Hi! I'm currently a sophomore in the Honors Program. If you applied Early Action, for me, the offer came WITH the acceptance letter. You're then invited on a recruiting "Reilly Scholars" weekend, which is a good time. The Honors Program is definitely worth it. I was only top 15% of my high school, so the top 2% rule is definitely not true.</p>
<p>OK...</p>
<p>I've heard that last year, the notice didn't come with the acceptance letter, and that you also have to fill out a short application to be accepted. Maybe the change came with the move to "Glynn Scholars."</p>
<p>I'm top 4%, 2350 SAT, URM, and have pretty good ECs and essays. I'm really hoping to get in to Honors--it might be the one thing that could convince me to go to ND.</p>
<p>URM is irrelevant. The HP is strictly merit-based with a strong focus on scores. 2350 is definitely "in the range."</p>
<p>I am still confused. I am first in my class of 350 with a 4.0 UW. I have 11 AP's, all 5's, 19 upon graduating, am a National AP Scholar with a 35 ACT. Would that be in the range for an honors program? What's the difference between Glynn and Reilly? Might someone with my scores not be invited since I need not be "recruited?" I have proclaimed my interest in Notre Dame as my first choice.</p>
<p>If you are above 2300 and highly ranked in your class and applied EA, then you should be invited to Reilly Weekend, which is pretty much the recruiting weekend for the Honors Program. I don't think the HP cares what your stated choices of colleges are, they want to get the best kids in there.</p>
<p>Glynn is the on-campus honors program. Reilly is the recruitment weekend for the top 5% of the EA pool. There is time during Reilly weekend to "meet with Honors Program representatives."</p>
<p>I don't believe that you have to be a Reilly Scholar to be invited to Honors, because Reilly is just the top 5% or so of the early applicants, while Glynn is for about the top 5% of all students.</p>
<p>I believe that you must be invited to apply for Honors, then fill out an app. They accept about 100 a year.</p>
<p>Something occurred to me. Maybe the absence of an SAT score might make a difference. I was under the impression that the ACT would just be converted. Might they give me a chance to take an SAT --- still? My ACT composite is 35.</p>
<p>I don't think that the scores made a difference. I haven't been sent any info on Honors, just Reilly. Your academics are very good, but there certainly are others in your same range. I don't know how they picked people for Reilly though, just that it's the top 5% of EA apps.</p>
<p>You might still have a chance for Honors, though. I'd just wait to hear.</p>
<p>sabrina-you're not alone--I got 36 ACT and 2390 SAT and haven't received anything yet...still crossing my fingers.</p>
<p>I would be willing to bet that you will both receive some info regarding the HP in the coming weeks. If I am not mistaken, son received the info, was a Reilly Scholar, in Jan. of "06. He elected, however, not to participate in the program. Keep in mind that decisions have gone out in mid-Dec of this year--campus is pretty quiet right now. Don't give up--paper work is still probably being sifted thru.</p>
<p>I appreciate your responses. It's just that with having completed 19 AP courses by graduation, I hope to get all I can out of my college experience. My counselor and teachers think i should consider of the Ivy League schools. I have visited and applied, but I love Notre Dame.
My fingers are crossed with yours. Thanks for the support.</p>
<p>I must applaud you for turning down the lure of the ivy league brand name for a school you truly feel passionate about. That takes guts, especially when talking to what could be a rather convincing counselor.</p>
<p>There is no place like Notre Dame!</p>
<p>Sabrina & others, I've been following the Reilly thread and while this is only an assumption, I have a feeling that the first letters went out to URMs - perhaps not all but some from what I've deduced. I was hoping my d would be included as well for a Reilly visit, or some sort of honors visit, but after reading some of the stats here, wow, my hats off to all of you! Sabrina, I work in an admissions office in NY and on all the folders, the ACT is converted to the equivalent SAT. If ND does the same, your folder should read 1580. My d is slightly below you, so I am still holding out hope that she will be included for a Reilly weekend. However, she's not even near your 19 APs! Her school doesn't even offer 19 APs! I am amazed at your schedule! Anyway, good luck to all! We hope to see you at ND! Go Irish!</p>
<p>You give me hope. Thank you.</p>
