<p>I was reading an earlier thread about the advantages to the honors college. I'm just wondering how do you get in and what type of stats you need?</p>
<p>I know (am I wrong?) that you don't apply but it is an invitation. But, is there a way to let them know in the application that you really want to go there without sounding snobby or stupid just since you can't apply to it?</p>
<p>If you apply early enough/are extremely qualified, you'll get invited by the university and just have to return something saying you want to join the honors program. If not, you send an e-mail to somebody in the Honors college after you get accepted asking to be considered, and I believe now that request has to be accompanied by an essay. Not sure what their target range is as far as GPA/SAT/ACT.</p>
<p>I second this</p>
<p>I got accepted on April 15 and asked to be considered about a week later. They let me in and didn't require me to write an essay. If you want ballpark stats, I had a 1460/2210 SAT and roughly a 3.5 UM GPA. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Wow, so it isn't super competitive then, right? Your SAT is really good tho.</p>
<p>I got rejected with a 3.8 GPA and a 30 ACT, and no essay... it's not really my thing though, so... yeah, I was pretty relieved that I got rejected, as weird as that sounds.</p>
<p>If I go to UM I'm really hoping to get into the Honor's College for more of a small-school feel.</p>
<p>Do you think I'd get in with a 4.0 UM GPA (Honors/AP heavy) and a 32 ACT?</p>
<p>sydney when did you apply and did you send in the optional essay?</p>
<p>I have a 32 act and 3.8ish Umich gpa, 6aps and tons of honors, plus college courses...chances?</p>
<p>Unless I was borderline and Honors has gotten more competitive, you guys should be in.</p>
<p>epsilon, which optional essay do you mean?</p>
<p>I didn't know there was an optional essay for the app? I just know about the 2 short answers/1 essay.</p>
<p>For honors you get an additional essay, after you get in to UM.</p>

<p>No essay, and somewhere around mid april... but I had no AP's and only 2 honors classes (that was all my school offered) ... my friend got in with (not sure of her gpa) a gpa somewhere around 3.9 or 4.0, no AP's, 2 honors, and a 32 ACT... she wrote the essay, though.</p>
<p>I got in with 31 ACT 1450SAT 4.0 UM GPA. I wrote the essay so I don't know if that changed anything. Its cool.</p>
<p>I got in with a 3.5 UM GPA and 2260 SAT (1520 M and CR). I didn't write the essay.</p>
<p>Got in OOS with 32 ACT and essay. It's worth it to write the essay. Epsilon, you're in. I only had about 5 APs and no college courses, and about a 3.6 UM GPA. I had strong EC's though, if they matter for honors.</p>
<p>A lot of people say that Honors is pointless, and it probably is. However, being 30 seconds away from the quality South Quad food at any time is MONEY.</p>
<p>Adrian: from what i've noticed so far: Honors doesn't give you a small school feel. Try the RC for that (or so I hear). You still take classes in buildings with non-honors people, still walk the diag, still force yourself through the gridlock of thousands of people.</p>
<p>Yeah, I really want to do honors just because of South Quad.</p>
<p>I bet the honors floor is more drunk than everyone else...namely because all the asian kids will be experimenting :)</p>
