How do you apply to the honors college? I submitted my ea application already but there was no way to apply to the honors college. Their website isn’t exactly helpful, either. Is it a separate application?
http://sc.edu/about/offices_and_divisions/undergraduate_admissions/honors_and_scholars_programs/sc_honors_college/index.php It doesn’t have the info you need, then call.
Honors college is invitation only. When you were filling out the information about your test score if you qualify to be an honors candidate, then it would have given you a pop-up notification. There really isn’t a separate application for honors. All you have to do is get some teacher recs and write two essays.
@QMusic That makes sense but the ACT score from the October test might qualify me. I’ll receive it around the first week of November. I’m automatically sending it to USC too. Is there any way that score might allow me to apply? My previous score was a 28 and this one might be 30+.
I thought if you had a 28 or above you are automatically given the option to apply in the middle of the regular application. That is how it was for my D.
@jeepgirl Need a 29 for the invitation. Once you type 29 or higher in the test score section of the main app, the Honors App appears. Type a 28 or lower, no Honors App.
But @as1799 makes a good point. If you achieve a 29 or higher on the October test, how do you apply for Honors? May just be out of luck.
If my son scores a 29 or higher in October, I’ll have him call admissions.
@STEM2017 If it’s too late, it’s not that big of a deal to me. You can apply while enrolled in the school with a minimum gpa. USC isn’t really on the top of my list anyway, but I’d love to get into the honors college.
@STEM2017 I must have mixed it up with UA, my bad:)
@as1799 If you receive your test scores by the first week of November then you should be fine because the Honors deadline isn’t until November 15.
For anybody seeing this thread in the future with the same question, once USC got my newest test score (31), I received an email with an invitation and link to apply to the honors college.
