Honors College/University Scholars Program

@PundergradA19 Congratulations and thanks!

Just got my letter today for University Scholars, and I live hardly 5-10 miles away!
GPA:4.2 weighted, 3.8 unweighted
Tests: 2120 SAT (1480CR+M), 33 ACT
5 APs, all 5s except for one 4… Dual enrolled there actually for Multivar Calculus, expecting to do ComSci

A little anxious about the whole “competition day” they have going on. How many candidates are finalists (but not scholars yet)? I’m hoping to hear back about good deals from VT and Vanderbilt or possibly Duke, but GMU has so much cool stuff going around.

Still no word about the scholars program? Does anyone know how the students are selected?

I haven’t heard back yet either. I have a 4.19 W GPA, 2030 SAT, and 30 ACT. A boy at my school got into the honors college with a 3.8 W GPA, so I don’t think it’s impossible for me to get in…

@mycloud150, I believe about 150-200 students are selected.

When do the scholars notifications come out???
like for full-ride scholarships? :wink:

I called them today and they said that we should have received anything relating to the University Scholars and that we should already have made reservations or something for February 28th?
But it seems like people have not heard back from the University Scholars yet? I am freaking out. I may not have the best SAT score but hopefully they might look at my GPA more.
Is it too late to receive the letter?

@mycloud150 @AnImpAffliction I believe 150-200 students is for the Honors College and 25 for the University Scholars.

If you read up, you’ll see that @figydaflygon did receive notification about University Scholars, so letters were sent out.

I’m just as disappointed as all of you are. I have stats higher than figydaflygon (not to compare myself, but just quantitatively speaking), and I wasn’t offered any merit at all.

If anyone by any chance receives a letter this month( as the other two got letters at the end of January) please comment? It’s probably too late now, but I would rather hope a bit more.

is it suppose to b in our honors college packet? or do we get a separate notification regarding the university scholars?

@chihuahua1‌ Both are sent out separately is what I know. Just because you got into the Honors College does not mean you will get the scholarship ( another user also send this somewhere above).

has anyone heard back about scholarships? :slight_smile:

Did u join GMU. If so how’s CS and comp eng there?

Did anyone receive any scholarship info in the packet recently. We haven’t received the official packet in the mail yet.

I got some info a while back, about 2-3 weeks ago. They updated my scholarship amount from $1k to $3k- not bad considering I will be living at home if I do go to GMU. You may get an updated amount too

We haven’t received the official honors packet yet

Thanks @cookiestar!!!
